Default cupholder/shift area problem - starbucks explosion

Hi and thanks,

I am searching but so far have not been able to find what I am looking for...

Here is the problem, I spilled my latte all over the area around the ashtray, shift ****, etc and though the car is running fine, everything is sticky including when I go to manually shift.

When I spoke to the dealer they said all will be fine but if I brought it in they would take it apart and clean it up ...

I know there are some directions on here w/ regards to taking this area apart for other installations but I can not find them...

If anyone knows a quick link to this can you post it for me ...

Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the link.

I highly recommend this move, especially if you like hazelnut latte's ...

The car smells just like the store!
