Got this from Orlen (Thanks again Orlen) and I need to swap the latch because my original one is keyed and I want to be able to lock it.  Does anyone know the trick to getting it off?
 
 
I thought there usually is a really skinny nut that has to come off. They are usually set up like most universal key locks and toggle switches. 
On the inside my car looks like a fighter jet.
 
 
This is one item I do not think I have ever removed the lock mech from yet.I may check my ride and see if I can give some insight unless you figure it out first.Still learning on these old 1st gens twenty plus years later like everyone.
 
 
Rob, I thought the same and was looking for something like that and turning the assembly but could not find a solution.  I just did not want to wreck it.   Orlen, that link looks like it will work. 
Thanks
John

These are real American Steel Glovebox doors!! Have a wreck in these cars , the glove box door can cut your leg off, and still be swapped in your next J if you happen to need it! 
Made in USA!!
