Once again, Larry Alster is proven to be THE MAN!!!
Finally got back to that balky console Saturday after a lovely topless
autumn drive down some Kentucky back roads.
Not only did his credit card idea work for releasing the window switch,
but his prediction on the boots was dead center. I'm planning on
installing some Dynamat to the transmission tunnel this winter, so I'll
get those boots replaced then. In the mean time, a zip-loc sandwich
size freezer bag is serving very well to keep those nasty fumes out of
the car. I'd been wondering why I was smelling so much cat stink when
sitting still in traffic : (
Thanks Larry, I owe you another plate of clams.

BTW, if you’ve never pulled the console before you might find you need
to replace those shift boots. Check them both for tears.

Larry, it's a shame you're from New York. Otherwise, you'd be perfect
;^)
Thanks again for saving the day.

You have to remove the window stitches, there is a screw under
them., Great idea right!!!
You have to slip a very thin blade of some sort, I use a dispaosable
phone credit card, in the front edge of the switch to console gap and
push it around to pop the clips.

I need to pull the cup holder/storage box portion of my console so I
can reattach the spring that controls the rear cup holder lid.
I've pulled the two screws on the sides beside the shifter and the two
screws in the deck of the storage box. The console shifts and moves but
will not come all the way up. It seems to be attached in the
neighborhood of the of the shifter boot and in front of the door
window switches.
What have I missed or how do I hold my mouth so it will release and
come free of the transhump?
TIA
