Only problem is the greedy property owner through the Anchor Line out to renovate and rent the place to a more upscale restaurant. No more cheap clam platters.

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.

Otherwise, you'd be perfect ;^) Thanks again for saving the day.

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'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 El Brown-O-
