Needed:
Tools:
Flat-head (blade)
screwdriver
Removal
Note: My interior was
pretty fully dismantled when I took these pics, just so you
know and aren't confused. Just pretend the console is
there like normal.
Optional Prep:
Put the car in "2". This will give you more room to
work. Pull the e-brake, turn your key in the ignition
switch to "run" (don't actually start the car, just turn it
the 2 clicks), push the brake, and pull the handle all the
way back.
Step 1:
Remove the U-clip. You'll find a slit on the backside
(toward the front of the car, near the HVAC controls) of the
handle. Pry inside of this slit with your flathead
screwdriver. You'll pry out a U-shaped clip.
Step 2: Remove the handle.
It should slide straight up & off.
Installation
Installation is the
reverse of removal. Slide the handle on, and put the
clip back in. You may have to tap the clip back in
with something, such as a hammer.
