Centre Console Removal

[gar1916]

Hi, I want to get the centre console out of my 03 Galaxy Ghia so I can more easily make a hole for a usb connector in the ashtray moulding. I've taken out the front 2 screws under the gearstick and waggled the console around, but it seems to be held on 2 more just under the ashtray which are impossible to get to? Any advice would be most welcome.

 

Thanks.

The top trim panel unclips and can be removed complete with the ashtray to reveal all four screws.

(I assume you got at the rear two screws by removing the gear lever boot and getting at them through the cut-out in the trim panel?)

Thanks, I stupidly thought it was all one plastic moulding :lol:

 

I have taken out those 2 screws, but all I actually need is the top trim peice off so I can cut the ashtray section safely.
