I am talking about the other end of the tensioner; the part that goes up into the box, not the part that screws onto the box.
Thank you,

I believe the glove box comes out as a unit. Check out the images (Below). Please let us know what happens.

When I took out the side plugs and unscrewed the tensioner from the door, it just lowered all the way down and the tension piston just fell down with the lid. I looked but could not find anything that seemed to be where the top part of the piston attached.
