Question Intallation Daystar Switch Panel 2011+

Hello,

I have try to instal the new Daystar panel Switch for wrangler 2011+, The texture and the pins place or perfect, the problem in my case was when I try to instal in the JEEP, the Daystar dont fit because he was bloqued by the principal console (I have a manuel JEEP). The Daytar was bloqued by the end of the console by the lower of the shifter.

Tomorow I try to cut the switch panel for instal on the JEEP correctly.

If you have a solution for the installation of the switch panel of daystar in a Wrangler 2011 manuel just write there.

Thank You!

This has been the main problem and concern for anyone running a manual Jk regardless if it is a '07-12. There are a bunch of threads out there that address how to fix the problem.

I have send a e-mail to Daytar....the reponse is: "We are changing the instructions, but all you have to do is pull the center console up from where the drink holders are. Then pull it back, which will pull the area that is hitting away. Install the Daystar panel. Then slide the console forward to the factory position and re-install it. They are very close so you have room for the switches. "

When I try this I have the same problem, When I try to install my center console after the Daystar panel the center consol was bloqued by the Daystar Panel.

Is there anyone who managed to install the switch Panel in a MANUAL WRANGLER.
