Upper glove box removal

My 2 year old somehow stuck a quarter in the hinge opening of the UPPER glove box, and now it won't close. I can't see it at all. I can't figure out how to remove the glove box. I removed two screws, that were obvious, and also a hidden one that was on the right side. It still feels pretty snug in there.

It's a 2011 Chrysler Town and Country.

Anyone familiar with the removal ?

Thanks,
Greg

I have an 08 and have done it a few times. In case the '11+ is similar, here's some more info. I can't really remember all the details though:
Mine has a few at the top, maybe 2, maybe the same 2 you saw. IIRC you have to pop off the trim piece on the end of the dash to reveal another screw or 2. Then there may be some hidden behind the center stack trim so that would need removing. The whole glovebox complete with lid comes out as a unit. It might have snaps so don't be afraid to pull to release them as long as you have got all the screws out.
That was it! There was 3 screws holding the center stack trim in that I did not see. After removing the trim, there was 2 more T-20 torx holding the glove box in.
Retrieved the quarter, so now I can shut it again. :biggrin:
Thanks!
