glove box is easy to remove, although i dont think you actually have to remove it,it should just drop down the back and IMO this is the easiest way to do it.

Have a look in the tutorials section mate, theres a really useful guide in there. Sounds like you've got the right idea tho

The glove is fairly easy to remove, two screws at the bottom, two at the top and one in the middle inside

I found the best way to do it is to tape the cable to a long screw driver, and push it through the grommit from the engine bay, then cut the tape off when the cable is through

to get it through the gromit.
just an idea (if you havnt already done it.) straighten out a coat hanger, tape the cable onto it and it'll jus slide through.
It took 1 minute
