Removing lower center console

Been in touch with otiswesty about challenges with removing the lower center console on my 1991 300GE. Found all 6 screws and removed them but the console is still attached at the front and I can't find the last connections. Any support here greatly appreciated! Want to remove it so that I can clean out the disintegrated foam and other garbage which has collected underneath there...
Happy to post photos if that helps

Re: Removing lower center console

You can see in these pictures where the 6 screw holes are in the lower center console. The console sits in a plastic frame and the screws come down thru a projection or bosses which fit securely into the lower frame. The front screw bosses cannot pull straight up due to interference from the overhanging dash. and have a limited clearance.

The trick is to use a screwdriver or nylon trim removal tool to pry adjacent to the front screw bosses as the console is pulled toward the rear.

Re: Removing lower center console

Thanks for the help and quick response. Based on the pictures and info, I just need to get the console loosened from the console bosses and then I should be good!
