REPAIR PROCEDURE

2. Remove the center holder (see page 20-107 of the 2003 Accord Service Manual).
3. Remove the center pocket.
4. Locate the white plastic locking arm on the left side of the center pocket. Note carefully how the tension spring mounts to the arm.

6. Remove the locking arm (one screw).
7. Transfer the tension spring from the old locking arm to the new one. Install the new locking arm, making sure the arm pivots freely. If needed, loosen the mounting screw until it does.

9. Reinstall the center pocket.
10. Reinstall the center holder.
