Center console and lower dash heating up.

My center cup holders, shifter and lower dash where really heating up bad. Si I decided to look into this problem.

I got into my center console and dash heat up problem today. Opened up the console and sure enough a 45 degree part of the duct had came loose.

I put it back in its proper spot. Thumped it with my finger and it fell right back out again.

So with that I went to get my drill and a shooter screw. Installed the screw. Zip Zing,,, Done.

Whole project didnt take 30 mins from start to finish. Even had to pull the consel to retrive a clip that fell off from the top cover of the consel. Pulling the consel itself is easy as can be. Four screws, remove the cover under the dash on passenger side and to push locks one wire and its out of there.

Dash has also cooled down alot. I couldnt see taking the darn thing into a dealer for such a stupid simple repair and improvement. ( ie the screw LMAO )

I hope this helps out.
