Thanks. I followed the TIS instructions, but did not remove the entire center storage unit. Only took off the top cover above the rear HVAC controls to access the screws, you can wiggle the pieces out without taking out the whole center storage unit. I did however end up breaking off a fastening point for the knee pads, there are 3 with one of the screws so close to the center stack it is nearly impossible
to remove. Still very sturdy with 2 screws. Also watch a video on how to re-install the trim around the cupholders, wasted 20 minutes before I googled how to do it easily!
