Replacing Center Console Panels Between Seats and Gear Lever

[mikec]

Hi

Panel beaters have damaged these with cleaning and before I let them loose on replacing them, does anyone know if it's a high risk job? Ie, will they have to disturb a lot of surrounding parts to remove the panels? If so, I have my doubts wiring and tightly fitting panels will be the same when they're done and maybe I should live with the superficial damage.

Thanks

Mike

It's pretty straight forward - there are a number of youtube videos and step by step instructionals, including one on this site for removal of dash/trim/surrounds. If you look at replacing the stereo system it gets you headed in the right direction. I pulled this bit out and wired a USB port into the centre console for my ipod connection. If you're only removing this part then you take out the heated seats and 12v panel and then remove the gear surround. Good luck!
