4. Using a plastic trim stick (or other tool that will not
damage the headliner) carefully bend both bracket
tabs slightly forward.
Take care the felt pads do not become dislodged
during this adjustment
5. Reinstall the overhead console assembly to confirm a
secure fit.
Bend tabs
forward
Secure the rear edge of the panel first, then the front.
6. Check for secure installation.
7. If the overhead console assembly is still not properly
secured, remove the panel and repeat steps #4

perfect fit on some vehicles. An uneven gap may
remain.
