Searching for DIY for bezel/panel removal of radio/lighter

[CDelgado220]

Sorry to post here but I couldn't post this in DIY section. I'm searching for a DIY to remove the radio/manny tranny/lighter bezel to fix my loose lighter problem. I have a little experience removing similar bezels but from toyotas & they usually just unclip but I tried removing it and it seems that the climate control, radio , lighter and manny tranny paneling/bezel is all one. Anyone have any clue or DIY's that would help with pictures so I can have a picture I would greatly appreciate it.

Just to take a stab maybe its like the 6th gen, screw behind the clock and two on the bottom of the console

shouldnt be too hard to tell from the pics tho.

This crack was from me trying to pry thinking it had clips
I tried removing individually but the console is one entire piece & ALL I need is to fix the lighter.

You can remove your shift knob by unscrewing it. I would do this first, then follow the directions.

first you have to pull the cup holder theres 1 screw to the right corner then empty the center storage and pull the access panel theres 2 screws there now the console should pull back and out exposeing the 2 screws on the radio bezel , also theres 1 screw behind the ashtray, pull down the shift boot then unscrew the shifter.. after the bezel pulls out..

oh man, whats with the prying. Im a MECP installer and i have seen worse DIY where ppl broke their whole bezel.

1) open center consol and pop open the cover at the bottom, remove 2 screws
2) remove cup holder insert. there will be 2 screws directly down, 1 to the left top corner holding center consol to the black trim.
3) you can now remove the Whole center consol up the the black trim.
4) after removal of center consol, there are 2 screw holding down the shift bezel on each side. Unscrew shifter knob and SLOWLY pull the trim. it will just unclip.
5) make sure before you do anything electrical, remove the neg terminal of your battery.

Vpuppy's InstallDR did the job.. Now that I'm looking everyone said the same thing. BTW, All the lighter needed was to be re-fastened onto backing, no screws needed. Icon, I paid $100. Thanks all for your help.
