• 1. Open the console lid fully to expose the two Phillips head screws securing the lid to the hinge.

• 2. Use your Phillips head screwdriver to remove these screws and detach the lid assembly.

• 3. If your console features integrated ports or lighting, gently disconnect the wiring harness before removing the lid completely.

• 4. Move the lid assembly to a clean, protected workbench.

• 1. Flip the lid over to expose the plastic frame. The factory upholstery is held by numerous staples or clips.

• 2. Use your Trim Removal Tools or a small screwdriver to carefully pry up and remove all staples or clips. Work methodically around the entire perimeter.

• 3. Once all fasteners are removed, lift off the old vinyl or leather cover. Inspect the underlying foam padding—it must be intact and free of tears before proceeding with the new cover.

• 1. Ensure the new Custom Leather Console Lid Cover is warm and pliable. Place it over the foam and align the stitching perfectly across the center of the lid.

• 2. Apply a thin, even coat of Automotive Adhesive to both the plastic frame and the underside of the leather where they will overlap. Allow the adhesive to become tacky.

• 3. Start by securing the material at the center points (front, back, left, right). Pull the leather taut to eliminate all wrinkles. Use your Pneumatic Upholstery Stapler and Stainless Steel Staples to secure the material, locking it into the plastic frame.

• 4. Carefully fold and tension the material at the corners. Staple every 1/2 inch along the perimeter for a permanent, wrinkle-free bond.

• 1. Reconnect any wiring harnesses for power or lighting.

• 2. Align the lid assembly with the hinge and secure it with the Phillips head screws.

• 3. Open and close the console lid to ensure the latch mechanism engages properly and the new leather console cover looks flawless.

The installation of your new Custom Leather Console Lid Cover is a powerful, high-impact upgrade perfect for your Scat Pack, Hellcat, or R/T owner. By replacing the worn factory vinyl, you have restored comfort and introduced a level of custom luxury that will significantly improve the aesthetic of your Charger’s interior.
