Nope...just pull the e-brake handle as straight up as you can, and you'll be able to pull the center console up over it.

When you think you've pulled it all the way, it can probably go further

Definitely requires some "finessing" of the console, even when the ebrake is pulled all the way up. Your console will probably take a hit.

EDIT: Try lifting from the back of the console, while slightly pulling it towards the rear of the car.

It's a little tougher if the car is an A4 but it can still be done

Take the shift **** off. No need to undo the entire shifter.

I can get my e-brake more than high enough without snapping anything. Like was said earlier, pull back a little and lift from the back. It will help get the console over the e-brake sooner. You definitely have to use finesse though. No sense in rushing it and breaking something.

There is a detent in the e brake. You just release it with a screwdriver and you can pull all the way up on the handle without breaking anything. Look at the shifter install write up on install university and it shows how to do it.
