HELP! Takin' out MORE of the dash...
 

This is what happened, I had a root beer can (full) in my cup holder and as I was leaning over to get my purse, I knocked the can over with the side of my body. Soda went every where. :doh :shoot

So, how do I get the entire center consule out of the car? Soda went through my cup holders, under the center console, down the side walls and under my seats.

Need to get this cleaned up ASAP.
Dudesky, I know you always have the pics for this! ;)

Thanks for your help in advance! :thanks

Oh! That's a big project! :conf

not that big of a project... I'm doing it this weekend.. I'll record the process if youcan wait

I ran out to the car and upset my morning coffee routine for this so that 318 better be the same as my 325 :D

First lift the cupholder part up at the rear, then slide it back. It's just held down with velcro. Pull out the rear ashtray. Then stick your Phillips screwdriver through the holes indicated by the arrows on photo right, and undo the screws. The e-brake boot just snaps off around the edges.

Shame on you wasting a good root beer :)

EDIT: Shit . . just realized some E36's have an armrest, someone else will have to help you with that part.

if you could do that, that would be great

dudesky, thank you, my 318 is exactly like your 325. thanks, I'm going to do that part today, i just need to get under the gray part
