Center Console Question???

[jgmgti]

There is a gap under the dash, and the top of my center console.What is the proper way to join the two?

I've contemplated that same gap and think there's got to be some nice little trim piece I can put in there, but it's got to remain easily removable to facilitate wire fidling and heater box access

i thought I remember reading,that they screw in from behind the console to the dash bottom??

to the dash--the short ones are held in place by a single screw that's behind the storage bin's trailing edge (nearest the shift boot).

The longer consoles are held in place by one or two screws that go into the tunnel housing, not the dash. You really don't want console and dash fastened together as it will cause squeaks. Leave the gap; it's factory!

Mike thanks, where on the console is the hole to screw into the tunnel?

I think there is an "L" type bracket that hangs down from the shift surround if I remember correctly.

Hey Jonathan - next time I see you - I'll show you how the whole she-bang goes together. The gap can be eliminated, but it takes a bit of disassembling and repositioning of fragile old console parts.

Ciao!

"L" bracket on the back right side. It attached the back of the console to the dashboard. I believe one of the screws for the underdash panels went through it.
