Roof console removal/modification?

Thanks for the pictures and idea. I made a few ideas in cad, they are printing now. I will share the results here.

 

Awesome what material are you printing with?

 

PETG

 

Nice can’t wait to see what you come up with

 

Thanks, the best one will be posted free on thingiverse.com

 

Did you use the OEM style clips?

 

Nope, I wanted to make a super easy install. This is the third iteration of the design that slides on the map clip. I am waiting for my SP9100 to arrive to verify the recessed dimensions, but what you see there is from their installation guide.

 

Same thing I was thinking.

 

Well, how about some advice?

 

Do a full build like this. That way the clips are your friend. All one piece.

 

Except on the trucks with a sunroof and the Toyota version of "On Star" there's a bunch of buttons and stuff up there that severely complicate trying to make a full panel.

 

I landed on this design. The clips align with the top edge of the overhead console and the bottom "slot" that is between the map clip base on the console. Assembled with 1/4' 6/32 screws and some 1/2" #4 Phillips head screws. The clips were printed in PETG so they can withstand the summer heat. I will post a link to Thingiverse later today, and for those who want the entire kit with all the parts if you have a SP9100, DM me.

 

Got some shots from a little farther away? I'm thinking this might be the way I go. I keep looking at how to replace that panel, but with the sunroof buttons and the emergency call button, I just don't see a way to do it that won't take me a month of Sundays to figure out. This is nice and compact and pretty clean...my only worry is that it puts the buttons so far back you can't see them well from the driver's position. Any way you can "replicate" that view in a photo?

 

Here you go, taken from directly in front of the headrest.

 

Nice. Thanks. Looking forward to those STL files.

I also have complete kits with the 3D printed parts and the screws included.

 

pretty sweet. Looks like ill have to get my 3d printer fired back up. How sturdy are the clips? I will have to modify the .stl and add some mount holes for the trigger switch system but im diggin it. Good work guys

 

I have a bunch pre-printed with the screws included. DM me for a link.

 

anyone have luck or insight into the 2009-14 long overhead console pn#636500C170E0, being able to fit 2017+?
