Default TSB for Center console garnish attachment

FYI: Here's a new TSB for center console....if anyone experience this. The next 6 pages are just the repair procedures.

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.

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.
