Cleaning the Center console


Recommended Posts

Posted

I started reading Scotts thread On Cleaning out his 89 Grand Prix Se. So I thought man id like to really clean mine. So I pulled the clip off of my gear shifter, And then took my Console top off. The peace that lights Up P,R,N,D,3,2,1 Was Looked clean but the peaces around the shifter never worked right. So I tore it apart to clean it up. And WOW!.. Here are the pictures.

I didn't even clean that shit. I just swapped over whats in my car right now.

LOL! no i never spilt a drop in my car. Besides the water in my passangers seat.

I did this to my car not too long ago, and I took an orange permanent marker to the little gear indicator and it's much much much easier to see now.

Ah.. i see thanks! i used to know Just forgot I knew it ment it was new and never installed..

Great job cleaning up your console. The before pics were pretty nasty. My console is probably overdue for a cleaning also, thanks to some messy previous owners. Maybe once I get some free time, I'll clean my console.

Looks great, man!

 

I go after mine with a toothbrush and a bit of murphys in warm water like once a month. But INSIDE the console is going to be another matter. The indicator strip that moves when you change gears has been MIA since I bought the car.

 

Don't ever drop a nickel through that hole. Guaranteed it will land in the perfect spot to prevent you from shifting into park.

 

Don't believe me? It happened to me. LOL

X2. Mine has also been missing since I bought my car. I actually found some CD's underneath the console, no telling how long they were there, but the CD's still work. :lol:
