How do I straighten a crooked center console? 2 Attachment(s) My center console (radio and A/C control housing) is not aligned straight. It's like it's slightly swiveled to the right so the front is slightly aimed towards the passenger, and a small amount of the rear of the enclosure sticks out into the driver side foot well. What's the best way to approach fixing this? |
Re: How do I straighten a crooked center console? It appears that your radio pod might be broken where the mounting bolts go. |

Definitely the case. They seem to be broken on any Firebird that's been driven. The mounts are incredibly flimsy for the amount of weight they are supporting. Let me guess, anything less than smooth road surfaces eventually rattles this stuff apart? |

So which commonly breaks? The mounting hardware or the radio pod itself? Let me guess, anything less than smooth road surfaces eventually rattles this stuff apart? |
Re: How do I straighten a crooked center console? The service manager at my Buick/Pontiac dealer took a look at it for me. According to the invoice: “CUSTOMER STATES CENTER CONSOLE IS NOT ALIGNED CANNOT ALIGN CENTER CONSOLE DUE TO BROKEN BRACKETS” He claims the mounting brackets are broken, and they are no longer available from GM, so he did what he could, which was almost nothing, and buttoned it back up, no charge. Wish he would have snapped some pics. |

Basically. I took mine out and epoxied it. Unfortunately, that broke too, so i bent some steel to fit with the frame and hold it together. |
