How To Remove Roof Console ?

[Bel Masetto]

Anyone knows how to remove the roof console ? I'm referring to the plastic curved console on the roof, above the rear mirror, containing the interior lights and the sunroof button.

I think that I must remove the lights first, then some screw should be found here. True ?

Thanks in advance.

1. Pull the interior light out of the trim panel carefully from the front.

2. Release plug on interior light and pull it off.

But how to remove the whole trim panel ? I need to do some work here and I want pull of all the console...

Ok - I'm confused here... your profile says 996TT and you posted in 997-1 - what car are we talking about?

Oops ! I've forgotten to update my profile...now MY07 997 GT3 RS.

I've posted here because this is a general 997-1 question.

Thanks again.

Screws behind the dome light but everything else pull off.

If you have homelink,you have to carefully pop out the 2 outer buttons to get to the screws.

the buttons come apart easily so be sure you remove the entire button assembly, not just the top of the button.

Ask me how I know....several times.
