I agree absolutely terrible design for when it fails. It's like they have managed to shoe horn the actuator into the most inaccessible space. In my case the electrical plug was facing upwards and the assembly right up against the bulkhead.

I have just ventured into this and through a voyage of discovery, have found you can take the top glove box out without too much trouble. Unfortunately it achieves nothing, no access to the offending item. I have a 2010 mk2 Skoda Fabia and the only way to access the actuator, is by removing the whole dash. The glove box in my car is integral to the dash. The flap motor in my case, is under the passenger air bag, in the top left corner. There is little information about the task, I now know why.
