How to remove climate control display on a 99 ...

Sent to Car Experts July 27 02:26 PM

How to remove climate control display on a 99 Buick Regal GS with center console. 1. I pryed up and peeled away the panel that goes around the shifter and see four bolts that go into the floor. Do I remove those?

2. I was told to remove the rubber bottom of the center console and there would be two bolts to remove under the rubber. There are none. Just a solid moulded plastic piece.

Any advice?
