Removing the Center Tunnel Cover

To remove the center tunnel cover, it is necessary to disassemble the armrest. With the help of a medium-sized flathead screwdriver, detach the glove compartment located just below the air vents behind the armrest.

Then detach the air duct and the connector attached to it. Remove the two star screws fastening the armrest hinge and then detach the armrest itself by disconnecting the respective connectors; also remove the other two star screws located just below the armrest.

Detach the leather boot of the gear shift by simply pulling the edges upward: just below the boot, there are two more star screws to unscrew.

Remove the parking light switch (four-way flashers) and the star screw located just below it; also detach the button located to the right of the parking light switch by disconnecting the respective connectors. At this point, you can detach the center tunnel frame by pulling upward along the edges: lift the foam cover around the gear shift and then disconnect the large connector and the one for the cigarette lighter.

You can now apply the carbon fiber effect film to cover the center tunnel cover: carefully smooth it out with a spatula to avoid air bubbles; trim it leaving edges to fold over (if necessary, heat the film with a heat gun to shape it better). Once the covering is complete, reassemble everything by correctly connecting the previously disconnected connectors.
