Replace glove box latch on 2014 E350

The glove box latch on my E350 came out. Apparently, the two plastic hinges on the latch broke, while the related pin on the glove box is still intact.

I see that I can buy a latch replacement.

Am I able to remove the pin in the glove box, so that I can install the new latch? I've seen other posts that suggest the entire glove box needs to be replaced. However, this seems odd.

If I am able to remove the pin, does anyone know how to position the following piece, which I'm assuming is a spring for the latch?

latch spring?

FWIW I did see this post. However, it seems pretty kludgy.

Thanks for any help.

Sorry no one has helped, mine have not broken so I don't know, I will go out and take a picture of my latch pulled to release, maybe that will show something.

I just replaced the latch on my GF's 14 GL350. It's not really meant to be replaced so I did a write up of how I did it. It's a little different, but I think you could do something similar with yours if you haven't figured it out yet.
