Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

After reading numerous threads on this topic I have a couple of questions. Is there consensus on which kit to purchase? There are tons of them on the net for $20-$50 dollars. If you like the replacement you have will you tell me where to get it?
Second, do I have to remove the console to do the work? I have few skills but want to give this one a try. I actually have the pop rivet gun! Thanks
It can be done in the car but it is MUCH easier with the console out of the car and it only take about 15 minutes to remove the console if you've done it before, 30 if not.
By the way, get the genuine part. It's not going to be more expensive than the knock-offs.
