Unscrew Console

[undercover]

Hi,

I wish to unscrew my centre console and am having some difficulties working out what to unscrew. I have unscrewed the 3 screws either side of the console but it still wont come loose. Can anyone help with what screws I am missing to undo??

As a proper reply, you might find there is some clips inside the middle armrest/glovebox, on mine there is two that need to be removed.

Have a look under the HOW-TO section I'm fairly certain I wrote a piece on removing the stereo head unit out of one in there should be help on pulling the centre console out as you have to do this to get the stereo out.

If I did not let me know and I'll see if I have the notes still.

Regards Guy.
