Yes, but you need to do quite a lot of cutting of the original dashboard - no going back if you bugger it up. Look at BanditBaron's thread in the Members Builds area, he did it. An alternative to consider is just swap the dash for one from a Touran.

I never have fun with a Dremel, it always ends in disaster!

I did fit a glove box in my 2010. I found one from a 2011 on the scrap yard. Just some minor cutting. Now I just need to wire the light and find a way to get some cold air in to the box.

Assuming you're using a Touran glovebox (not just one of the "lids" from Van-X)

For the cold air feed, there's a pipe which attaches to the rear of the glovebox. There's a blank on the Caddy blower assembly which you'll need to drill out, then attach the other end of the pipe. Be VERY careful when drilling out the blank, if you go too far you'll puncture the evaporator.
