remove the single which is on the right upper corner.
then remove the centre console by lifting it from the back end and basically remove it without breaking anything.
STEP 4
also another picture i missed out on was once the removal of the centre console complete, unscrew 2 screws that hold the surrounding in place. you will be able to see...if i have time ill post pics up.
As you can see, this is the area which will be concentrated on.
