Center Console Removal

[Phillbert]

Hi guys i have a VX SS, I'm trying to get the center console out to swap the SRS Module under it.

Starting at the back, i got the 2 nuts off the center bin area, 2 side screws at front of seats, elect window switch out and surrounding bezel.
Compartment and front is out, 4 screws at front and 2 front bottom fascia.

I can lift the back up a bit and wiggle it all but can't seem to get it out?
If looks like the auto shifter surround is i the way of it coming out?

What else do i need to do to get it out?

the Auto shift surround needs to be loosened, 4 screws I think,
Then lift the back of the console, and take care of the HVAC ducting on the passengers side.

That is what i worked out, surround has to come off but cant see any screws

The shifter surround doesn't have to come of.
You have the fascia for the h/u of?

2 Screws down the Bottom by memory,

I must fess up,
I removed EVERY screw I could see, when I removed the Adventra Console out when I did a Deap clean
(I know its a bit of a different layout, but the basic removal instructions are the same)

Hint: so the screws dont get lost with all the bits and pieces, stick all the screws to a magnet

Just looked at the pic of shifter in the other thread project vx ss.
Do you have the cover that the window switch sits in of, yet?

I got as far as here, everything undone. Cant work out how to get the shifter cover off

Do you have these screws out? I can't tell?

If so, put the shifter in 1st or 2nd. Lift the rear of the console up & should clear the shifter?
You have the nuts of from the inside the console?

That pic l uploaded there is another screw, but can't see because of shifter.

didn't put in 1st but will try again tomorrow, too dark to see out side now.
