Ok, how do I remove outer piece of overhead console without breaking it?

I have a 2011 with the overhead console that just has the garage door thing, light and sunglass case. I want to remove it for painting. However it feels like I'm gonna break it into pieces when I start to even get a finger underneath it. Suggestions?

 

Aren't there screws holding it up there?

 

I thought the screws where for the main part not the outer trim. I could be wrong.

 

The clips are tight. Pull screw from rear section, then pull down from front. Now it's off.

 

Undo all the screws correct?

 

I just looked at mine (2011). Mine doesn't have a trim piece around that part. It's the main piece that comes down. Yes take all the screws out.

 

OK got it. It was only one screw actually. Interestingly, there is a wire bundle that goes to where the garage door opener compartment that isn't connected to anything. I wonder what else can go there...

 

The temp gauge for the other models. You have the sr5?

 

Yes I do!

 

I have the same thing. I'd rather have the garage button for storage than the temp gauge that you have to fix when it goes out.

 

I wonder if there is a combo sensor setup. Like temp, compass and info to go in that chamber

 

OK. Well here its all derped.

 

Its usually either the garage door opener or the temp/compass reader. the temp/compass does tend to break, but the fix is real easy and lasts if the job is done correctly. I have a spare one for sale if you need one
