Loren at Renntech.org.... the DIY pages have detailed instructions for some and Loren will email the rest if necessary. I changed out the rear console, upper console, batwing, vents, defroster covers, door handles and bin covers all from his instructions... The hardest is the defroster covers... Rest was pretty easy...

Make sure you get yourself some decent Torx screwdrivers and a good straight edge such as small puddy knife. For the door covers, you need a tiny torx driver because many of the screws are difficult to access.

Eric, is correct. I went and bought a small wrench that has a typical box wrench at on end and the other was like a ratchet. Added the adapter and the correct torx bit. The total depth was about 1.5 inches which made it easy to access, tighten and remove all the screws for the bin covers.

If you not concerned about saving the door handles they are easy to remove. It is easy to break off one or two of the clips if you are not careful on the old handles. No big deal if your going to chuck them anyway.

Good luck...

Go to the DIY pages under forums. If you don't see what you need just email or PM Loren. He has always been very helpful..

Bin Covers

For the bin covers you can also remove them entirely before messing with a couple of the hard-to-reach torx'. Just use a needle-nose to pull the front pin out (you may have to work it some but its only held by friction) and then move the bin downwards and forward to pop the rear pin out of its hole.
