Usmcsho Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 So my center console cover broke the one right behind the shifter that has the lights. I ordered the part does anyone have experience taking it apart? Sent from my SM-N930V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHO Rod Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 I'm not sure that is matters, but what year is your SHO? Is it the cover for the cup holder that broke? -Rod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpd1151 Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 When.you say you "ordered the part", what did that order entail? Just the cover itself? The whole entire piece, to include the cup holder and cover as all one unit? In either scenario, both repairs are fairly easy peasy..... If it is/was just the cover only, then the posts that protrude from either end, simply snap into the clips on the cup holder well itself. If you ordered the entire assembly, we'll then that's just as easy.... You want to dislodge/partially remove the long, thin plastic straps that outline either side of the center console. These strips are.... on the driver's side it has the push start button, and on the psgr side, the trunk release button. Once you remove those, you will expose the fasteners (IIRC I think they are 8mm hex heads) that hold down each piece of the center console itself. In your case, the cup holder with broken cover will look like this once removed: Ignore my white cf work.... But that's the gist of it. Need anything else, post or pm me. Good luck.

Usmcsho Posted October 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 Is it hard to dislodge the strips without damaging them Sent from my XT1650 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpd1151 Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 No, not at all. Open up the cover for the center console storage area, start at the rear most part of either strip, and gently pull upwards. There are are several tabs, I think about every 4-6 inches or so.... It is surprisingly easy to do. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
