Hello-

I have a 2015 toyota avalon, and I believe a chapstick or pen fell behind the slidding lid and I am only able to open it up about an inch. Is there anyway to remove the lid? or sides? to get blocakge out.

Take a look at the dash panel directly above the sliding lid. If you remove that you should be able to reach the culprit easily. Here's a series of pictures showing how the panel is removed. Essentially, open the glove box door. Use a small screwdriver or panel removal tool to pry the panel back working your way from bottom to top. You should be able to get your fingers inside the top of that panel to pull it straight back and away from the dash. Caution, there's a light attached so don't pull it too far back.

Hope that works for you.

Cheers!

I see the box on SVTfocus03's link but not the sliding lid. Is that part of it and included, I can't tell.
