I had this problem, they just replaced the entire side piece.

 

i need to look into this. thanx e39ng.

 

My side garnish would pop out every week or so.

 

Hello, where did you get this TSB ? I want to download this pdf so I can take it to my dealer to fix. Please let me know.

Thanks,

 

My piece popped out the day the car was delivered to me. I noticed it once I took it home and adjusted the seat further. I pounded it in myself. The repair procedure looks pretty ghetto. It calls for the plastic pegs to be cut by hand using a wire cutter. The panel isn't even replaced, it's just hacked together using pieces.

 

just read the whole TSB twice... took me a while but i got it now. (slow day for me) it happened when i had the SP F Sport. the whole passenger side piece came out. i pounded it back in. hasn't happened on the OB, crossing my fingers.

 

what is the center console garnish

 

Same question here.

 

Can someone pls post some clear pictures for the ones in the forum who have difficulty visualizing the issue (ie. me)?

 

I think we are talking about part # 55435C and 55436C (top right and bottom left) of this pic.

 

or...they are the two color-matching leather pieces on either side of the cup holder cover. your knee would hit it if you swing your right leg out.

 

Thank you sprtent. I'll check mine out tomorrow!
