It's been 3 months... any update on your tutorial? This still looks really slick, if the disassembly could be minimized.
So I decided to take a stab at this today during lunch. Thank you
@arumpf for steering me in the general direction. Returning the favor with some more details of what I managed to accomplish in roughly 10 minutes.
1. Grabbed a T20 driver, a 1/4” socket, and a 1/4” ratchet from my toolbox.
2. Looked down my center console with the flip door open to find the two screws from above.
3. Closed the lid, and felt around blindly to place the T20 bit to the screw, then attached my ratchet to the socket. (I guess I should clean out my car. In my defense...how am I supposed to see the tissue?! That would’ve been there forever if not for this mod)
4. Removed both screws. Had to remind myself this is facing me, so lefty loosey righty tighty wasnt right. Once the screws were out I stared at it as I wondered what I needed to pinch. Was it the sides? The bottom? Maybe I just pry the thing? Went back and watched or fast forwarded through Daerik’s video.
5. With the lid in an open position. I now knew it was hooks. I just pushed it from the bottom to slide the top part of the cover up towards the ceiling and it opened right up.
It becomes 2 pieces and I was able to get to work. Unfortunately there’s no way a 3 coil would fit. It’s just too thick.
So that’s it for me for now. Off to buy a single coil board.
PS: This post took more time than it did to get the lid apart
