How to remove the center armrest box of Haval H6?

[VonKathryn]

First, you need to remove the small box at the back where the ashtray is placed. Then, remove the plastic shells on both sides in front of this small box. Next, use a 13mm wrench to remove the screw nut below. After taking out the aluminum alloy base, install the original central storage box. Restore the state without the armrest box, and finally directly install the no-drilling armrest box base, which is quite tight, and no self-tapping screws are installed at the bottom.

Removing the center armrest box of the Haval H6 is something I've tried on my own car before, and it's quite straightforward. The first step is to empty all items from the box to avoid losing any small objects. Then, lift or remove the top cover or inner lining—the Haval H6 often has a soft cushion here, which can be pulled back to reveal the screw holes. The exact locations are usually at the front bottom or on the sides. Use a Phillips screwdriver to slowly unscrew them by turning counterclockwise, but avoid applying too much force to prevent stripping the screws. Once all screws are removed, gently lift the armrest box upwards. Be careful at this stage, as it might still be attached with clips or small hooks—damaging the plastic parts would be troublesome. Take your time during the whole process, especially since interior materials are prone to scratches; wearing gloves is recommended. After removal, cleaning dust or installing small accessories becomes much easier. When reassembling, align the parts properly and ensure all screws are tightened securely.

When dealing with the disassembly and assembly of the center armrest, I always remind myself that safety comes first. Remember to turn off the engine and remove the key, as certain models of the Haval H6 have wiring inside the armrest, such as USB ports or lighting harnesses. Forcing the removal may cause a short circuit or trigger fault codes. Specific steps: empty the interior, peel back the bottom mat to locate the screw points—usually around four. Use a properly sized screwdriver when removing screws to prevent slipping; lift the box gently, and if there’s resistance, stop and check the clip positions to avoid breaking them by pulling too hard. After removal, you can inspect the internal structure, making it easier to clean or fix minor issues. However, be cautious: plastic parts are prone to aging, becoming brittle after exposure to high temperatures or sunlight, so extra care is needed when handling them in winter. Before final assembly, test all functions to ensure they work properly and avoid potential hazards.

Key points: Empty the contents of the center console, remove the inner liner pad. Locate the cross-shaped screw holes at the bottom and unscrew them. Gently lift the box to remove it. Don't drag the process; use a Phillips screwdriver and plastic pry bar for assistance. Apply slight force to release any clips when encountered. After removal, check for any damage, and ensure proper alignment when reinstalling. This task is easy to handle and can be done in five minutes, but don't overlook the initial preparation work.

I've disassembled the Haval H6 center console several times, mostly to add accessories like storage compartments or replace the leather cover. Basic steps: remove any items inside, lift the inner padding to locate the screw holes, and loosen them with a Phillips screwdriver. After removal, it's easier for deep cleaning or DIY modifications, but be cautious as the material scratches easily—handle gently. When reassembling, ensure everything fits smoothly, especially aligning the tracks properly. This experience also applies to similar disassembly tasks on other car models—keep plastic pry tools handy to prevent damage.

Disassembly requires a cross-head screwdriver and a plastic pry bar. The simple steps are: empty the armrest box, lift the inner pad, loosen the bottom screws, then gently lift to remove. Note that the Haval H6 may have clips on the side; pulling too hard can break them, so move slowly to avoid damage. After completion, clean any debris inside or check hidden slots—it's a good opportunity. Avoid using sharp metal tools, and carefully pry open the inner lining. When reassembling, ensure the screws are secure and the box is stable without looseness. If there are electronic components, disconnect the power first.
