So I'm rewrapping my beltline trim and am finally getting around to the long dash piece but im stuck. I've been following this http://www.audiworld.com/tech/int.html which has helped a bunch but I'm completely stuck now and cant get the center console part out and i feel like its something easy im over looking. Hopefully one of you guys can help me out.

Heres where im at (sorry for the phone pics) :


Took out all the bolts i could get to


I feel like i need to take these out (2 on each side) but cant get to them

 

There are screws on the sides under some pretty trim covers

 

pull out the climate control i think there are more under there

 

What trim covers are you referring to?

 

In order to get all that out you have to remove the center console housing - the black vinyl part that is next to your right leg, which houses your HVAC and frame that you're trying to pull. Look on the sides in the wheelwell down near the carpet on the center tunnel and you'll see small popout covers that hide screws. Remove them and take out the enclosure for the center section and then you can continue disassembly.

 

Pretty sure the climate control and ash tray have to come out to get a few more bolts.

Just been so long since I pulled my dash out.

 

Thas exactly what it needed. I pulled the climate control and saw i was getting stuck because the ashtray had 2 bolts holding it to the trim. Finally got everything out, wrapped and put back together and can honestly say thats something i never want to do again.
