Remove all your items from the glove box, then look carefully at the right and left side of the glove box "walls". You will see two rubber "bump stops" attached to outer edge of the glove box side walls. You may need to slowly open and close the glove box a few times to notice them. Pull on the right and left side "walls" of the glove box simultaneously (this will bend them inwards temporarily-don't worry they won't break) and in the process the "bump stops" will be removed from the channel or groove they are normally in. Now the glove box will swing open completely. Since the panel behind the glove box fell out of place this may be a good time to replace the cabin air filter. To put back into place simply pull inwards on the glove box side walls and line up the "bump stops" back into the channels or grooves. Good luck.
