Re: help! how do i remove the center console(with armrest/ebrake area!) (Anand20v)

First you need to take out the center console. Pop the side piece off. The one on the driver side. I am talking bout the piece that is round on the top and goes down into the center console. Then there will be a screw. Undo that and remove the console. You need to pull out the rear ashtray by poping off the round sidepieces on both sides and manipulating the tabs on actual ashtray. Then on the cupholder bend up the tabs (under ashtray) and pull it out. They remove the scres under that holding the console down. Then remove the screws that hold the two console pieces together (behind the shifter). That will allow u to remove the rear console. (Be careful. There are 4 tabs that go under the front console where the 2 are joined). For the front console. Remove the screws in the footwell. Also u will need to remove the ashtray bu pulling out the asthray, and then removing the screw underneath. Then you can pull the whole ashtray assembly out. Then you need to be very careful removing the console, but it wil come out. It is also hooked in by the footwell screws, but it will come out. Good luck
