Tools Needed
Console
Work on a table or bench covered with a soft cloth. Read through the
complete instructions and study illustrations before starting in order to
familiarize your self with all the steps and helpful TIPS.
STEP 1.
Remove the 4 “Torx” head screws that secure the console lid to the hinge
assembly. Place the 4 screws in the cup holder for re-assembly, (Illus. A).
STEP 2.
Remove the back cover, (7 “Torx” head screws), and set aside, (Illus. B).
STEP 3.
Clean the inside edges of the vinyl where the double sided tape installs with
Isopropyl Alcohol, to remove any oils that might hinder tape adhesion. LET
DRY before tape installation.
STEP 4.
Tape installation; cut a 1” piece of tape off the strip and set aside. Start
by peeling a small amount of the colored tape facing back, (Illus. C). Start
beside the latch assembly, and move clock wise; press the ex- posed side
of the tape onto the inside edge of the lid, (Illus. D). Use your thumb nail
against the white paper backing to work the tape into the vinyl of the lid.
After you have the tape pressed into the vinyl, peel the white facing back.
Peeling back 3” at a time of the colored facing, work around the inside edge
until you reach the other side of the latch assembly, (Illus. E). MAKE SURE you
saved a 1” long piece of tape that goes behind the latch assembly. Install the
1” piece close to the rough edge of the vinyl under the latch assembly, (Illus.
F). Note lid with all the tape in place, (Illus. G). Avoid touching the exposed
tape with your hands as the oils in your skin will weaken the holding
strength of the tape.

STEP 5.
Lay console cushion face down, and slide the lid under the flap surround;
make sure the notched part of the flap is lined up with the latch assembly.
Slide your fingers inside the flap at the corners and stretch the flap around
the lid, (Illus. H). If the material seems to be too tight, use a hair dryer to
warm the vinyl flap and make it more pliable.
STEP 6.
Pull the flap around the back of the lid until the stitching lines up with the
edge of the lid, and MAKE SURE that the seam salvage on the inside of the
flap is pulled around to the back side of the lid, (Illus. I). Press the flap into
the tape to secure. (TIP), it helps to have a second set of hands to hold that
part of the flap you have done from coming loose while you work on the
next section. Tuck the tab behind the latch and secure it to the tape. Repeat
this proce dure as you go around; (TIP), it helps to turn the flap INSIDE OUT
at the corners, and pull the seam salvage over the edge of the lid, (Illus.
J), then press the flap into the tape as shown in (Illus. K). NOTE how the
stitching lines up with the edge of the lid. You can also use your thumbs to
help push the flap around the back edge of the lid, (This is critical in order to
pull the wrinkles out of the cushion), (Illus. L).
STEP 7.
The secured cushion should be snug on the lid and wrinkle free as shown in
(Illus. M).
STEP 8.
Turn face down to re-attach the back plate; at this point it may be necessary
to cut some of the vinyl away from the screw housings on the back of the
lid. Place the back plate under the latch area first, then line up with the
screw housings, (Illus. N), and re-install the screws, (Illus. O). Caution: Do not
overtighten the back plate screws, as you can crack the back plate.
STEP 9.
Re-install to the console hinge using the 4 screws you put in the cup holder,
and close the lid. If it does not latch quite right, it may be necessary to
loosen the hinge screws slightly, and re-adjust the lid. The latch may still
have to manually be closed because of the thickness of the vinyl flap behind
the latch.
