I wanted to know the same thing. Seems like evey post I find just talks about the entire console. I just want to remove the trim... anyone know? Is it screwed down? On my new trim it looks as if there are a ton of screw holes.


Help before I start yank'in.




(that didn't sound good)

hello, and to all good luck. i had to replace the cup holder insert last summer. it was not an easy task. since i was running rca cables to the front for aftermarket radio. i had removed the front seats. once out you can begin to disassemble the center console. see pic below.


as you can see theres a lot of pieces. so take ur time. most of the work is with the center console trim area. underneath is where the fun begins. i would say took me 2-3 hours from start to finish.

note that you do not need to remove the seats in order to remove the center console. there are removal tips on the home page in the "Interior" section.
