[Biturbos4] How to Remove Flip-out Telephone Bracket from Centre Console?

[David Bray]

Hi Everyone,

Still looking for an answer to the following ... (If "Super Audi-Tech" Keman
or anyone with access to Bentley CDs could offer me some advice, it would be
very much appreciated!!)

My centre console still has the flip-out bracket in which the original
telephone handset was installed.   Does anyone know how to remove it?  

The bracket is connected and pivots on 4 horizontal posts (2 on each side)
which don't look to be removable from inside the console unit.  If these
posts are removable from the outside, how do I remove the console cover on
each side to get at them?  I hope I don't have to change the entire console
- do I?!?

I snapped off the circular plastic pieces covering both sides of the pivot
point for the entire console but wasn't able to remove the slide-on lock
washers holding it in.  Is there a trick here?  (I was told by a friend that
they usually destroy the old ones and put new ones on ... is this true?)

One last thing, is there any trick to removing the externally-mounted
antenna off my rear glass?

Thanks, one and all!

Cheers,
David
