How to Dismantle the Centre Console in a Smart Fortwo 453?

Model: Smart Smart 453 - Years 2014-2022
Part: Glove compartment

First, remove the plastic covers behind the handbrake and unscrew the highlighted screws, also removing the gear knob. Use the appropriate lever, and as shown in the video, gently separate the two parts, taking care not to apply too much force to avoid damage. Now remove the plastic surrounding the gear lever, and using the same lever, remove the storage compartment located in front of the gear lever and the plastic beneath it. Remove a few more screws, and the centre console will be free to be removed from its housing.
