How do you REALLY remove 05 Civic Glovebox door??

I've read procedures & watched various videos.  I can't slide the stops.  If I press with all my might on the tab from the outside, something will break.  If I push/slide or hammer the tab on the inside, something will break.  It surely is too tight to twiddle with fingers, but tools appear to be a recipe for disaster.

Forget the BS pressing tabs or other rigamarole to remove the stops.  Just forcibly pry it loose with a long flat-blade screwdriver on the tab end closest to the opening on the inside of the glovebox.

On a 16 year old car they're stuck tight, but reinstall easily
