How do I get into the fusebox under the glovebox?
Discussion
When the technician fixed my clutch switch, the passenger window stopped working and the mirrors stopped auto-folding on lock. The latter isn't a fuse issue, but I suspect the window is.
ETA, I know where the fusebox is, but can't see how to access it and am worried about breaking the trim.

Auto-fold is a setting in the ECU that I strongly suspect doesn't hold when they knock the power off the car. Stupidly it's not user selectable.
The fuse boxes are easy enough to access.
The one in the footwell does need the carpet peeling back. Just go carefully and have some sticky sided tape (or better still, sticky sided velcro) handy for when you're replacing it.
Think the screw heads are torx. Have a magnetised bit handy as you can drop them in places that are awkward for fingers (if you have fat ones like mine).
The one in the boot (can't recall where window fuses are - mine have never gone) has a carpet covered access panel. It feels stiff, but does pull out relatively easily.
A plastic fuse remover (like plastic tweezers) is also VERY useful...saves blowing fuses if fiddling in the fuse box with metal tools...
