Default HELP!!! interior storage cubby removal

Hey everyone, wondering if anybody has experienced the panel holding the interior storage cubby in between the seats flapping around in the wind (when top is down) or loose. I noticed this in my car all of a sudden the other day and im wondering if anybody knows how to remove that panel so it can be replaced. For more details, im not sure if maybe some clips are broken or what the issue is, I just see that the bottom of that panel is not properly attached to where it should be. Hope someone can help me out! Can post pics if text is not clear. thanks

Someone must have opened it and not installed it back property . Sounds like they have only pushed the top clips back in but not seated the base of the panel on the vertical pins at the bottom. Just pull forward from the top and you will see how easy it is to put back

Thanks! I thought its bolted in because of how tight it feels, i must have not tugged hard enough.

Hello! Im posting some pics for clarification, panel #1 is what i want to pull to fix lower clips, panel #3 is the panel that blocks panel #1 from just being pulled out, as shown in #2 circle. Since panel #1 is under panel #3, im not sure how to pull it out

I have the 'lockable stowage bin' option, but my vague memory from other discussions here is that center panel comes out somehow? I don't see any mention of it in various documents I have.

It looks as though they are one unit and not separable. I've attached the Service manual pics for you to review.

Sorry i have the coupe and assumed the cubby was the same for both. Maybe the convertible is different from the coupe if indeed they are joined. Plenty of people have done the stereo upgrade in the convertible which involved removing your specific part so someone should be along shortly to shed more light on your problem
