Removing centre console fascia

[Rocket]

Hi All,

Have a rattle behind my centre console fascia (cant seem to stop it by pressing on anything from the front so i think its a bit deeper near the radio or cup holder or top air vents) so i wonder has anyone here removed or know how to removed the front plastic bits of the centre console to i can get to whats behind? I figure some of you who have changed parts/stereos would know this. Any pics of where clips etc might be would be great too

Take it back to the dealer and get them to fix it!

Bump...

the card holder is easy to pull out if you just put a credit card or similar in, hold it on an angle and give it a tug...to remove the stereo needs a set of removal tools that slide into the 4 slots in the corners

Thanks kevvie, what about the main large panel that surrounds everything? how does that come off?

when i was looking around for a spot for some extra gauges and i found 2 screws undewr where the aircon switches are. Have a look there.
