Overhead console in a non-SE car

Postby Christer » 20 Oct 2004 9:27

Is that a simple bolt-in, or....? :?

....doesn´t make the car go faster but makes the interior a bit more cozy.
It is a part of my eventually future mods plan.....(....maybe dreams is a more correct word.) :roll:

I think you need the SE headliner as well?

My gut feeling is that the two different headliners start to differ somewhere after the driver/passenger seat.

Hey 48, I believe that you will need this overhead console light support.

Hope it helps!

Is that just the light support (light lens itself is clipped on the bezel in your pic) , or is the consolette screwed on that bracket too? How is it attached on the front (I tried gently pulling on mine, it is firmly in place, not clipped)?

BTW, does someone know the wiring for the dome lamp in that setup, I have the lens but nothing under it. And I didn't find much detail about that in the FSM. Does anyone have a pic of the lightbulb socket?

I can´t help you with that. I ask myself the same questions. Anyone else?

The bezel has bent tabs that secure it to the consolette. The bezel has two other tabs with holes that allow you to screw it into that roof bracket. So basically the consolette is helping hold up the middle of the headliner, keeping it from sagging. The light lens clips into the bezel.

The rest of the consolette is bolted to the headliner. The consolette has a series of clips with short threaded rods attached. That goes through holes in the headliner and attached with washers and nuts on the other side. So, if you want to remove the consolette, you have to remove the whole headliner.
