Centre console removal

....how do I do it? Where's all the screws hidden?

Also door bump/rub strips are they clipped on or do they have small screws holding them in place.

There are two screws in the front of the console, one behind the cigarette lighter and one under the coin slot.

Then you pull out that tray and underneath there are two more screws down by the two wiring loom connectors.

Disconnect the two wiring connectors

Then inside the armrest lever out the little cover in the middle and there are two screws there.

Then pull out the plastic cover underneath the handbrake lever, and stick your finger through the hole to push up the gearstick boot.

Then pull the whole console back towards the rear of the car and lift it out. You'll have to negotiate around the gearstick boot and the handbrake, but it should be pretty simple. There should be no wires to disconnect as the two connectors at the front serve all the electrics on the console.

front doors = open the door, on the very 'outer' edge on the inside is a small black plastic cover (about the size of a 1p), ping that off. should be a t25 torx screw. undo that and do your best to save the screw, they are easily lost down into the doors guts. When the screw is out the bump strip should slide forward appx 15mm and slide off the clips.
rears are much the same.

Excellent write up Bomb, thank you.

Jimmy, was done outside my girlfriends house. Er no no one caught yet.
Police don't hold much hope in catching anyone.

Cheers Niles.
