A pretty good description of the process is on page 256 of the manual:

What I did after making a copy of the fuse block
The damper was easy.
Next, check the left tab and familiarize where if push gives out easy. Next, move the glove box lid up-fwd about 1/2" and stick your right hand between the glove box and tab, because you have to pry both at the same time to clear the right tab retainer, and while you are doing that push inbd the left tab the lid should drop. |

Thanks! I found this excellent video that shows EXACTLY how to properly remove the glove box (or at least swing it down out of the way) at 00:20 seconds into the video. It even shows the plastic tabs and the direction they need to be pushed to release the glove box.
The Car Care Kiosk site has a lot of other helpful videos for common maintenance procedures on the BMW X1 too.

All of the outlets work on the same fuse. It is a 20AMP fuse in the glove box fuse block. Look on the paper in the glove box to find the correct fuse. It will have the same symbol as the boot outlet has on it a "+" with an arrow and I think a minus. If only one outlet does not work, it may be a faulty outlet or not making complete connection.

fuse location for the 12v boot outlet
Hi guys, i just found out that the fuse for the 12v boot outlet is not the one (shared with the other outlets) in the glovebox, but the one located just above the car`s battery in the boot. It seems that the 7.5 fuse was shot. Hope this helps someone out there...
