As described, I am trying to fit the centre console into the car.
The top of the console keeps fouling on the centre vents assembly leaving the tail perhaps half an inch above the rear mounting plate whilst also making some very uneasy noises when trying to slot it under the vents - 40-odd year old plastic going 'crack' is a worrying thing :(
Yes, I have removed all underlay below the carpet covering the trans tunnel, alas no change.
I could of course jam it in there and pack up the back end of it - just seems a tad dodgy is all, plus the plastic is clearly very much under stress and again, this can only spell long-term issues for the console's plastic construction.
This is yet another task in the re-build which feels entirely like Ikea furniture: "A won't go in to bloody B FFS!'. Why this thing just doesn't want to go back together easy-peasy is beyond me...
Ad so, I can't work out what is going on nor why - the heater box has no adjustibility (is that even a word?) and so can't push it up any to give me some more room.
I have heard this is not an uncommon issue and so I am putting it out there - has anyone had this issue and if so, how did you remedy it?
Appreciate your experiences on this one - I am simply out of ideas and about to put yet more dents in the back of my garage door what with more spanners being hurled. The toys are out of the cot on this one I can tell you.
Regards, TB
