2. At the front of the console, remove the small trim panels from the left and right corners using a trim tool.
3. If equipped, remove the console-mounted gear selector lever (see Automatic transmission).
4. Using a trim tool and working from the rear to the front, pry the top shifter panel/ floor console top panel up, disengaging the clips around the perimeter of the panel. Note: There are two retaining clips at the front, and are disengaged by pulling the top panel rearward after the other clips have been released.
