New (replaced Scott's oops) cable is now in place. Tunnel cover is back on, exhaust is back on and all is well. I spent 3 hours trying to figure out how to get the cable mount to snap into the bracket at the back of the car. Finally went to the auto parts store and bought a long needle nose pliers with 90 degree tip. Was able to snap it into place on the first try. Amazing what the right tool will do for you.
Ran out of daylight, so the trim pieces on the center console are still "somewhat" in place. I should be able to wrap that up tomorrow. |

Yeah... Yeah, that's it.
Glad you got 'er buttoned up. That back bracket did look like it was gonna play rough because the plastic tabs didn't have much travel. Now you really need to get socket adapters for your drill. One of the best things I ever did for saving time on small jobs like this. Scott

At least you are in Florida doing the work instead of up north.

Car now all back together 100%. Only casualty is the plastic boot form for the e-brake. That being said, I think it was broken prior to my ownership, as about 6 inches of the top of it was missing. I glued/taped the lower back corner, and got the boot cover back on with acceptable installation.
Putting that center console back together was a MAJOR pain in the ass. Traction control switch proved to be my toughest part. Fortunately, all electronic connections still work correctly, even with me having to cut the wires to the console power adapter. Total cost...$50. I'll take the hassles over the $700+ dealer price for the same job quoted by jaxgator. |
