Your console accessory tray door broke off and you would like to replace it? However you cannot replace the door itself you must remove the console and replace the entire insert. This should help you remove the console and replace the insert tray.

Broken center console

Start by removing your handbrake trim it just snaps out.

Remove the trim piece

Next open the back half of the console. There is a trim panel on the bottom inside that also just snaps out, remove it and you will see 2 torx screws underneath. Remove both of the torx screws.

Lower trim panel

Now you must remove your lower trim panels on the console. Look at the bottom inside corner of each front seat and you will see a plastic trim fastner on each side. Rotate this a 1/2 turn releasing it from the console. Now slide the entire trim panel rearward releasing that from the console.

Trim screw

Move to the front of the console, carefully remove the small trim piece under the power point (cigarette lighter) and heater controls. Use a tiny flatblade screwdriver for this, it also just snaps in place. With that removed you will see 2 torx screws one on the left and one on the right, remove both.
