Warped Console Fix - Honda Prelude Forum

willmbrk · 12-20-2003, 05:00 PM

Well, I got the two springs needed to fix my warped console. Tomorrow, I will cut them and install them. If the fix works like Honda says it will, I will post before and after pics.

Let me know, I am having the same prob.

I just need to find a way to cut the brackets down. I might have to wait until Saturday.

Cabin noise, annoying...

I think this is the warped console fix he was refering to

I don't think I even have those clip holding my console at all...

willmbrk · 12-22-2003, 08:53 AM

The clips are only for 94-96 Ludes. I don't think there is a fix for 92 and 93.

yohan420 · 12-23-2003, 11:53 PM

yea, my 92 doesn't have those clips on either part of my center console

And I dont have a cup holder

i have that problem too, i have a gap thats like 3/4 cm long.

and where can we get the clips from?

willmbrk · 12-24-2003, 08:02 AM

Clips can be ordered at Honda for a couple of bucks. Part number is 90610-SR3-003.

Did this fix work?

willmbrk · 12-24-2003, 09:22 AM

I will find out on this Saturday because thats the only day I will have access to the tools to cut the clips.

yohan420 · 12-24-2003, 10:00 AM

These are the same clips that hold the back most trunk liner in, that plastic piece that goes along the outer edge where the trunk closes on on either side of the latch .. If you pull that out the same clips are there ...

good tip for all you junkyard dogs! might even be some in other imports?

So much for this fix. I followed the steps as the TSB said, and my console actually looked worse. At least it was worth a shot. Time to try some of the other fixes.

so no luck at all huh? I can't see the clips that i have while i type this, but if they're different on one side than the other, are you sure you ground off part of the clip on the right side, and did you grind too much/not enough by chance? That sucks that it didn't fix it, I'll still try it on my car to see if it works, I'll keep my fingers crossed and let you guys know.

willmbrk · 01-02-2004, 09:41 AM

The problem is that the console doesnt fit correctly once the clips are in place. I tried to slam the console in, but it just wont fit.

Interesting, I am gonna have to give it a shot.
