Lower console Trim Bezel removal

Post by Zoofly »

Can someone explain how to remove the silver trim bezel on the lower console? Is it just a matter of pulling it straight out?

The trim has four tabs on it. you need to bend them straight from the rear of the fascia, then it pulls out

So I'd need to pull the upper center console out in order to do that correct? Is it possible to access the tabs if I remove the car stereo?

May be easier to remove the center console, unless you are really flexible.

You will have to remove the center console, two tabs on the top, two on the bottom. you may get the ones on the top from removing the radio, but I doubt you can get the bottom ones.
