I have had to delay posting pictures until tonight because when I removed the Center Console prior to sending to JPM I had trouble removing the back of the unit so I removed the front first. That was a big mistake. By doing so, one of the plastic clip tabs in the back popped off and both of the clip tabs are meant to hold it in place. I had to super glue the clip tab back on yesterday and it will have to dry until tonight when I will then be able to re-attach the Center Console. If you remove the Center Console, be sure to remove the back first. Then the front will just clip easily in place and you won't end up forcing one of the two clip tabs to break loose. Both clip tabs are necessary to make a snug fit and secure the back, and they seat when you push down the front clicking it into place.

The back requires more patience because there are two seating connectors in back and one in front. That is why the back is difficult to pry loose when removing the console, but the back is where it seats under the lip to secure it's position. By securing the front you seat the back in place.

There is one large male metal clip in the center top of the back and two large metal clips opposite each other in the top front which all clip in place to complete the procedure. When you hear the final clip sound, you are done!
