I need to replace the overhead console with a new one I purchased on Ebay. The replacement unit has 4 clips that look like they snap into place but it also has 2 small (1/2") plastic pins (inside the forward edge) that probably need to be inserted into an opening in the base fastened into the front ceiling. How can I remove the existing broken console? There are not exterior fastener connections. I attempted to pull it down from the ceiling base but the whole ceiling started coming with it.
You are lucky that you have the replacement as a guide to show you how the original console is held in place. If you are handy, you can get a tool from an auto parts store that will help you loosen the retaining clips in the positions shown on the replacement item. You may need a helper to hold onto the in-place console while you carefully pry on the clips to get them loose. A small, clean rag put into place between the pry tool, your hands and the headliner will help keep things tidy.
Good luck

Yeah, you can do this yourself. Drill out the rivets and unlpug the motor. Remove the motor and replace it with the neew one. Attach it with short fastners and nylon acorn nuts...pretty simple task. You don't have to remove anything else.

You'll need to remove screws that are by the door handle, arm rest, under door and side of door and then gently pull back on the panel as there will also be retaining clips attached and you don't want to break them. You'll need to lift the door panel upwards in order to get it off the window ledge. If needed, you can pull back the weather seal (can't reuse it, but it's not that important) and you will be able to access everything inside the door
