you can't have 2 consoles in the same place at the same time...you gotta take the old one out first.

Gotta pic of this console?

if you want a shot at all for anyone to help you out, you gotta at least make an effort to know what the hell part you are referring to.

You just have to jiggle it, wiggle it, play with it, maybe even lube it up a little; but it'll eventually make its way on.

I'm assuming it's a carbon fiber piece that replaces the leather or carpet trimming on the center console.

Now if it's this he's referring to. He shouldn't be touching the car in any way if he can't figure out how to install this. LOL

I helped install one before, it is a pain in the ***. you have to flex the c/f console open enough to clip over the center. You have to pull it to the point that you think its about to break in half.
