got my audio console from honda...so fresh

problem....there is about a 1/2"-1" gap with the console and center console (where the shifter is).....the audio console overlaps the center console so that you can still see a little bit of the center console below the ashtray/cig. lighter

the first bracket that you put at the top is suppose to be as far forward as possible but im not wanting to break or twist the plastic on the dash too much....anyone have any problems like this when installing the audio console

 

ya, when i did mine my dash was loose.............. so i tightened the dash up, and moved where the cup holders where before you un screw them for the consle up closer (slotted) and t cleared

 

Mine had about an 1/8" gap. I'm stumped as to why your gap is so large.

 

just installed one in my EG last week, i also had a small gap but i did some research and found that these do not always fit perfect even though its an OEM part..

 

it mayb be just a little smaller because i only moved the center console up as far as it would go....but its a realllyyyy tight pull to put the screws in...i know its pretty flexible but im not tryin to break this $100 piece of plastic lol

 

ohhhhhhhhh i know

flip the upper mounting bracket. upside down (you have it upside down) my gap was almost an inch wide when i had that upper bracket upside down. also you really need to finnese it in there to get a NICE fit, not just a clip in and go type thing.......tighten down all the screws and keep adjusting it.

like a front end its not just tightin everything and go, its loosen here tighten there move this ETC

 

well i went by the instructions...cuz im suppose to have the bigger holes in the bracket facing front right? but maybe if i put it upside down...i could easily adjust it going forward or backward....but yea i dont want to just have it where it works...i want it right...thanks for all the info...keep it comin if u have any other ideas

 

That gap below your cig lighter is from improper install. I did the same thing so dont worry. The bottom of the metal bracket is supposed rest on top of the shifter console not below. This will eliminate your gap below the cig lighter. As far as the other gap between the bottom of the console and shifter console just try and adjust it as best you can. Good Luck

 

i must have said it wrong...but theres not really a gap below the cig lighter....just that you can see the shifter console below it...the bottom of the audio console (big plastic piece) overlaps to where u can see the shifter console and is a little away from the cig lighter and ashtray...

is that better maybe??...ill try and get a pic...at work right now

Nah my reply was to the gap you were talking about I think. Yeah post a pick and we'll see if its the same gap, but I'm pretty sure we are on the same page, you might not understand what I'm exactly trying to say. Which in that case my bad

 

yea im goin to try and post the pic tonight...unless i find a usb cord around here at work

another thing that might help maybe....the two small clips on the side barely touch the little holes that they are suppose to go into

 

will this werk as a reference??? as you can see i got a gap at the top where the console meets the dash....

 

i dont think i got that much gap if any at the top...but at the bottom where its suppose to meet is where its gapped at

 

alright well i started messing around with it at work and got it straightened out....no gaps anywhere really....ill take a pic of before and after later...thanks for all the info....

now i just gotta get somethin to fill it up lol
