Part 3
Quarterly Care
I will sometime dismantle certain parts of the interior to make it easier to clean. The center console usually gets a little sticky from leaking beverages, and it can also get dusty in the cracks around the shifter. It's easy to remove a few parts of the console and wash them in your kitchen sink. If you have an Auto trans. Taco, just pull up on that silver part that surrounds the shifter and has the single cup holder. It will pop loose, and then turn it sideways to get it off of the shifter knob. You can also pop out the dual cup holder pocket in front of the shifter. The storage area in front of the dual cup holders, below the AC controls, will not pop out. It's part of the console. Once these pieces are removed I use a rag to wipe around the shifter and the little verticle window that displays what gear you are in.
