2. Remove the self tapper that is located at the front of that little compartment at about 2 o'clock. It's horizontal and is easier to feel than it is to see.
3. Put the gear selector into Drive, then, starting at the rear of the console top cover, prise the cover up gently, working your way forward. It's held on by a series of clips that are pretty strong, so be careful not to crack the cover.
4. Unclip the wiring connectors to the power windows and any other connections your car might have.
You can now see the two screws under the cover.
