Center Console Arm Rest Lid Contacts Lumbar Adjuster Knob (Remove and Reinstall Center Console)

1. Move the front seats to the rearward most position and remove the console front fasteners.
2. Move the front seats to the forward most position and remove the console rear fasteners.
3. Reinstall the left rear fastener. Tug on the console to the right and reinstall the right rear fastener.
