How do you remove the center console trim?

AlpineG05 · 06-20-2009, 06:09 PM

i've search but didn't find good instructions.

i want to do the CF fabric wrap so i needed some help well i know how to remove every other piece of the trim except for the center console. So basically i'm looking for where to start pulling off the trim and what tools should i use i have some plastic tools if that matters.

oh yeah i have wood trim don't know if that matters as well. thanks in advance.

lift up your armrest and start pullin the trim. unplug the plugs from underneath the console. i started pulling closet to the armrest.

So should I be worried if I hear any cracking noise?
