Glovebox removal time; anyone care to best mine?

To explain, this is the third time I've had to remove the glovebox (the whole glovebox (including the cupholders), not just the outer part, to get to my iPod interface, so I thought for shits and giggles I'd time myself. Five minutes. Probably could have done it quicker, too. Anyone care to beat it?

Oh, and I can do a full brake pad change (without a lift) on an E46 in 30 minutes .

Does it have to be removed in such a way that it can be reinstalled. I think I could remove one with a lump hammer in about 10 secs (not in my car obviously).

Hey EvanL
Do you have any pictures on how to take out the piece of plastic that sits in between the cupholders? It's a long rectangular strip
