After removing the central tunnel section that includes the armrest and the storage compartment, place it upside down on a workbench to proceed with removing the screws that secure the storage compartment to the upper cover, where the joystick for selecting the functions of the onboard computer is located at the front.

At this point, simply unscrew the mounting screws of the joystick support and remove it from its location; you can also complete the disassembly of the closure elements of the storage compartment, leaving only the support frame.
