You don't need a pry tool. At the separation, just try gripping the top section and pull up to start the separation. Once you get the back started, you can start pulling up on the sides and the entire top will come off. It's very simple and no tools are needed to separate.

What does the BTS console slider look like? Is it the same as the Rebel?

For anybody looking for the Rebel center console slider, my original is available. I posted it in the classifieds. Thanks

So, I had been eyeballing this as a possible modification for quite some time and was unsure if it was possible. I posed the question but no one really had an answer, so I just up and did it.

I swapped the sliding center console cupholder/tray compartment in my Rebel for a Limited compartment with the covers. I think it looks alot more finished, initially I intended to wrap the wood grain finish with something similar to a pattern inside the Rebel, but after installing it I'm going to leave it be. I think it meshes very well with the 12A black package.

Anyway, for those interested - The existing cupholder is removed by popping the front two retaining pins out from underneath the compartment. This is by far the hardest part. I used my phone reserve camera, light, and a set of needle nose pliers to push up (towards the roof) from underneath on the front two white retaining clips. From there I was able to grab the top portion of the tray and pull it up and out. From there its super easy, just unscrew the six screws and remove the bottom portion of the slider tray and pop in the new one.

Parts needed:

5YE132X7AGAccess Cover$496.0

6LY66TX7AARetainer-Floor Console$26.74


Overall, worth the mod I think. The replacement sliding compartment is crazy expensive in my opinion, worth 500 bucks ? That's up to you. I have my old one for sale if anyone is interested and needs a new one.
I always wanted to do this on my Rebel when I had it. This should be a factory option. Maybe with the carbon fiber look Rebel trim instead of wood to keep the cost down. It probably sounds crazy, bit it's one of my favorite features on my new Limited. It just looks so much cleaner. Nice work!

Do you have a photo showing where to Pry? Just wanna be extra sure before I yank this out.

There is a photo 5 posts above yours. It shows the exact location of all the tabs. They are tight, you need to pull with some force.

Is the Built to serve any different, I’m envious of the lock box in there.
