Can anyone help me?
I’m trying to remove the rear compartment below the ac vents at the rear of the middle console and replace it with a new one because the door has broken off. Any tips would be much appreciated. Thanks

Refer to the attached from the Holden VY Service manual. I don't know how much of the console (if any) you need to remove to get to what is shown in diagrams 1A3-19 and 1A3-20.

you have to remove the center console from the car, turn it upside down and there are 2x screws holding that pocket into it. You can only get to them with the console removed, which is fairly easy.

Thanks guys, but I’m trying to get to the very rear of the console, you’d be looking at it if you were sitting in the back seat, it’s the little compartment below the AC vent.

I'm interested in this because mine is jammed shut.
@BlackVXGTS has posted instructions on how to remove the console, and I interpret that as you have to pull a lot of bits off to get to the screws as per FIG 1A3-20, in which case mine will stay jammed shut. :(

yes, we know. You need to take the center console out to get at the screws to remove the rear pocket.
