The "safe" way to pull up the center console (the one with compartment box):
- Pop off the gear lever trim (7AT, remove silver trim piece first; 6MT, unhook and pull up)
- There are a couple of screws holding down the center console.
- Lower driver and passenger seats. Towards the back of the console (behind the seats) are a couple of screws (one on each side). Remove those.
- Now you can simply lift it up.
