Montreal Subaru Club

You will Start by removing these screws. And just a FYI all of the screw you will remove during this process are not identical. You may want to keep them organized so you don't mix them up!

Then remove this screw.

Then from the back seat remove this access plate on the end of the console and remove this screw. Then remove this entire end of the console.

Then remove these 3 screws to remove the hinge from the car.

Here is a top view of the hinge and the direction you should squeeze it.

And Finally a side view showing the U shape i was talking about. You will apply pressure at the highlighted lines and you will push in the direction of the arrows. You will only want to bend this slightly, maybe an 1/8" to start. Put it back together and as long as you bent it enough (but not too much) your lid should latch securely and you should even get that audible sound when it latches. Hope this was detailed enough for ya! Let me know if you have any other questions!
