Automotive Carpet Replacement: Install Console Bracket

Video Transcript

"Okay, this is the front half of the bracket that holds the center console in place. If you remember we had to slide it in sideways. It's held down by two six millimeter bolts with ten millimeter heads that are probably about oh, three quarters of an inch in length, maybe a tad bit longer, and two shorter ones that connect the upper bracket up here. So we're going to slide this in. And I can see the holes aligned here. Now pay attention to your carpet and let's make sure we got it aligned because it will easily slip up under that bracket and pull on it. Now back here I want to check the alignment of these little plastic caps that we screwed on to these studs back here. I want to make sure I can reach through that hole and feel that stud with my finger so I know everything is in the right place. Push down, all the way down into the drivers floor plan here. Push out any excess space. Make sure everything goes down good and tight, so all the carpets tight and in the right position. Once you're happy the carpets in the right place, let's start on lower bolts. And once again we're in a difficult situation where we're reaching behind a bracket and we really can't see it. It's kind of a feel situation, you have to put the bolt down through and kind of move things around until you find the hole correctly. And once you do that, get one bolt started the put the other bolt in before you attempt to tighten it down in any way, shape, or form. Okay, we got the one bolt started on this side. Now I want you to switch over to the other side, get the other bolt started, tighten them both down, put the two other bolts in place, and that will secure the bracket for the center console. Watch our next segment we're going to cover installing the computer and the computer cover."
