help with central console
netrophile replied to a topic in 996 Series (Carrera, Carrera 4, Carrera 4S, Targa)
Hello again. Im even more confused now. I am looking at the grey sparkly upside down U which I want to change. This seems to be 3 pieces. It looks like Lorens pic. Will I be able to swap it for a newer one piece burr wood upside down U. I ask this because of one of the posts I have just read in this forum asking something similar (by ESK). The photo someone has posted shows a non-PCM plastic piece being removed from the center that looks remarkably similar to the piece I want to buy. The only difference is that this is one whole piece. Please help me......... -

Hi. I can answer your door bin question, having just done this. The door handles come off with a little prising using a butter knife but you need to be careful at the top ends not to snap off the correctors (easily done). The new ones just clip on. The bin lids can be done in 2 ways: 1. The hard way is to pull out the steel bolt at the handle end of the handlewith some snub nose pliers-I abandoned this as it looked like these bolts were going to suffer from my repeated attempts. If you are successful with this, the bin lids will come off. 2. The easy way is to use a size 6 torx bit on a short handle and unscrew the small screws with the lid open. This was easy except for the screw near the handle end. However, after some manipulating it did come out easily. The new lids can then be screwed right on. The key to this is to have the torx bit on the smallest handle you can find-mine was about 2 to 3 inches. I am tod that the central console just snaps off with a butter knife. I was looking for a burr wood one which I haven't yet got so this mod will have to wait. Im sure Loren will know how to get this off correctly! Good luck.
