can anyone tell me how i go about removing the part of the center consol tray thing that is just above my trip computer and below the middle vent?

 

forgot to include that important detail...sorry bout that...its been pretty dam hot here in central jersey

 

A least some of the screws will be revealed if you remove the wood panel that the trip computer sits in. But I can't remember how to reach the lower-most screws. Sorry. Not much help.

Someone with a better memory will come along.

Do you know how to remove the wood panel? If not, post back. I think I can fumble thru that.

Cheers

its been at least a year and a half since i took apart my 1st xj6 and i cannot remember how i disassembled that region of the vehicle.

 

Been much longer for me :-)

To remove the wood panel:

-Remove trip computer. It pulls straight out
-Remove climate control knobs. They pull stragiht off
-Remove notched nuts on climate control shafts
-Remove black panel around radio
-Remove 2 screws above radio
-Pull panel down and away

That oughta be close enough to get you in the right direction.

With the wood panel off you should see the upper screws that hold the tray in place but the lower ones will, I think, still be hidden. I can't remember where those are
