The next set of screws are midway down the console.

You will need to find the right position for the seat to be in to access these screws. They can be removed with a long Philips screwdriver. Once these are removed set the seats to the maximum rear position. There is one more set of screws that are pretty tough to access.

The info about those awkward screws being hex head saved me a bucket load of time. Many thanks for the post.

Great job. Wish i would have had this when I first figured out how to take it apart. Here’s what I did with mine:

Sweet. One of the many things on my to do list is yanking the cd changer and fabbing a lock box to fit in there.

I see that you are using paper to avoid scratching the pistol. You can protect it by installing heat-shrink tubing.

I just search on YT and this guy explains what I'm referring to.
