8.5 years ago, I replaced the driver blend door actuator and never put the kick cover back on. The screws have been in a baggie in the console. Last week, I replaced the passenger side which required taking the dash cover, a-pillars, air bag, vents, and some supports off. I broke a mounting clip/tab support.
Today, the repair of my dash cover tabs fully cured, so I reinstalled it. Decided to put the kick cover back on. I now remember why I never did. That screw inward, right behind the center console is impossible! I taped it to my 7mm socket and got it started. Decided to yank the socket out and attach to the ratchet. Couldn't get it turned much because I couldn't get the socket back on it.
Started taking parts of the center console apart to see if I could get at it and realized there were some screws that would also be impossible to remove. Put what I took off back on.
Figured it was well enough and gave up. Might wrestle with it some more later. Just ran out of fecks to give.
