Default Center Console removal

Hi! I'm trying to remove the carpet from my 99 LS1 camaro for cleaning and am having difficulty removing the center console. Specifically removal of the shift ****. I have an automatic. Anyone know how to do this?

There is a staple in the front of the auto shift **** (facing the radio). Pull out that staple and pull the **** up.

Default Thanks Guy! Worked like a charm

I'd have been looking forever before I'd have found that staple.

its on the fwd side, you'll feel a slit/groove. A scribe or small flathead will pull it out. to put it back in needle nose pliers work good sine you have to compress it a little. good luck getting the console out over the shifter and e brake! You'll have to recline your seats and alternate between sliding them forward or backwards. Camaro's are a little easier than birds

pull the ebrake up as high as you can.. with some slight wiggling and jiggling it will slide over it.. or you can take the handle off but you need those starbits with the hole in um..
