4 bolts on front center console piece surrounding shifter and radio,
3 screws in 2nd piece of the center console where the cup holders are theres 1 screw in the bottom 2 behind where the seats are towards the bottom.
then 2 screws in each of the personal storage bins.
Remove the middle piece first.
Slide both seats all the way forward tipped forward.
then grab the bottom of where both the bins are pull up from there then out.
Theres a "lip" on the upper part of it that has to be "tipped" out when pulling the rear piece out.

Then its out. and theres a few screws on the cover of the fuel pump.

Sorry if anything didn't make sense tried to explain it in the best of my ability.

BTW leave the Ebrake UP and the shift **** OFF

You only need to take out the armrest part (im pretty sure) Unscrew the ashtray bulb , just a 1/4 turn and pops out

Move up the seats.

Then pop the middle back panel out.

Unscrew the speaker panels, they slide forward and are clipped in on the outsides.

Then a few screws in the personal trunk, and it all comes out.

Now you are down to the pump and wires..

I think Courtney's build has pics of him doing it, and I went further and took the back glass out to repair it and the defroster.

(if the above wasn't clear, I hope that helped)

this should come off first, it just snaps off


This is the rear back piece its not that difficult to take off, there are a couple of screws to unscrew including the two rear back ones that the middle arm rest/cup holder are hooked up, you cant miss them there are one on each side.



once you have taken out that rear piece this is what you will find, there she blows capt!

^Correct. Just make sure you apply even pressure and don't just yank the panels out. Bad things can happen-broken panels, or broken clips.

So do I have to take the panel off between the rear window and rear storage boxes?

Yes, we've all talked about that.

Its the pic Granny posted, and it just pops out. Then the speakers panels. Then the lower.

**** While you have the interior panels removed, clean out the rear window compartment. Accumulation of crud and junk may clog the drainage tubes. Hot water and a straighten clothes hanger does the trick.
