  • Removing console cover

    Removing the console cover allows you access to adjust the handbrake, provides access to the rear of the cigarette lighter and also the blanking plates to allow you to add more switches etc.
    Refer to the following link for the first stage which involves removing the drink holder.

    http://www.pradopoint.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=4477 Scroll down

    OK the second stage:

    Remove the silver trims on each side of the console


    Unscrew the gear knobs and unzip the handbrake cover


    Pull up on the end nearest to the drink holder until it unclips then pull up on each corner on the front


    Lift up the end of the cover over the handbrake. You may have to loosen off the handbrake so the cover slides off


    View with cover off and view of underneath the cover

        Re: Removing console cover

        Have you ever removed the back off the console, the part you see when sitting on the middle row of seats? Have been toying with the idea of some power outlets for the kids elctronics and thought that the panel would make a good mounting spot only if I knew how it came off and what was be hind it.

          Pull the bottom corner off and do the same on the other side

          Pull the bottom out a bit so the clips are clear

          Do the same for the top

          Remove the cover

          View of rear console cover

          To refit, push cover back on evenly

          There is not much room to fit plugs. There is a spot under the control panel

            Thanks very much Winniliss. I have had a pull and nothing came off ops: so will pull a bit harder :twisted: .
            I don't have any controls in mine so hopefully I can fit something in there.

              geez! I had also thought about a couple power points here as well but looking at this don't bother unless you have hanging out pigtail fashion.

              Thanks.....saves me the hassle and bother of taking apart only to put back together.

                You could mount one but would require cutting and or gluing. If you look at the rear of the cover:


                You would have to cut the plastic insert that is under the control box and you could for example screw or glue one of these to the underside of the control box -


                or one of these (just did a google image search) as an example as its from the UK


                The last one would be better and neater
