Hello!

Did y’all remove the plastic between the center console and dash or does it serve a purpose? I tried removing the piece on passenger side, but it didn’t want to come out really easy. Pic attached.

Thanks in advance

Sometimes that’s there to keep future squeaks away. Not sure if this is one of those times.

Funny you post this. Just left my dealer. So I was told by service this piece is there to prevent scratching. He said “since truck is so heavy that it shifts when the truck undulates”. Thought that wa some Bs answer but now seeing yours there maybe he is right. ?
 
I have never noticed it on mine. Now, I will have to run out into the garage to see if I have another project to do... :mad:

Least yours looks clear. They used blue plastic for me and let’s just stay is stands out a bit ?
 
It’s horrible looking. On my 2017 I pushed the panel back as far as I could and used a razor to cut it. Had to do the same on my 2021. I assume my 2022 will the the same.
Did the same on mine on the passenger side. It is much less obvious on the driver side so left it alone.
 
Sounds like it does serve a purpose then.
It’s ugly, so I figured I would ask.
You would think if it’s just for contact, then there shouldn’t be a need for all the excess not near the point of contact lol

Sorry to the ones I reminded of this eyesore. I will try to forget as well ?

thanks for all the quick responses
