Removing the console top on 4 speed Dart

As the others mentioned the console must come out first to get the top off. If you have an automatic, the shifter will knob will unscrew from the lever if you loosen the allen screw on the shifter knob. If it`s a 4 spd. just remove the knob. There are two screws inside the door and two screws on either side of the console in the front. Once the screws are removed you can shift the trans into N or D and lift the console up and out of its place. Once you flip it over you`ll see how the studs of the top are fed through the console base and secured. Take some pics when you`re done!
