Consoles and Parts for Buick Rainier

The center and overhead consoles in your Buick Rainier vehicle impart a variety of advantages both practical and aesthetic. Beyond providing a place to store items and enabling you to clearly see the interior contents of your Buick auto, the consoles in your sedan are endlessly customizable with various upgrade and replacement parts. Sift through the options contained in this massive collection and pick out the replacement consoles or upgrade parts that perfectly fit your needs as a Buick Rainier SUV driver.

The two parts in the interior of your Buick Rainier that are usually referred to as consoles are the center console and the overhead console. The center console sits between the front driver and passenger side seats and serves as an armrest and sometimes as a jump seat when the car is in motion. The center console also opens on a hinge and doubles as a storage space. The overhead console is embedded in the forward center section of the roof and usually contains two lights that can be toggled on and off. The overhead console often has a slot or a small hatch that opens where sunglasses or other items can be stored. Beyond replacements for these components, accessories for the consoles include various types of cup holders and embroidered or padded covers that attach to the center console as well as replacement bulbs for the overhead console lights.

While one of the primary purposes of the center console is to serve as an armrest, anyone that has been on a long drive as a passenger or driver in a Buick Rainier knows that this location to lean your elbow doesn’t stay comfortable for long. To resolve this discomfort, various manufacturers have produced padded covers that slip over the top of the center console that cushion its surface. Having this extra layer of squishiness in your Rainier can be a lifesaver on extended road trips.

Replacing the overhead console in your Buick Rainier is easy and takes about 30 minutes to accomplish. Overhead console models vary based on the year of manufacture but the process to remove and replace this part remains similar despite minor differences. Arm yourself with a flat-bladed screwdriver and a new overhead console unit and follow the steps below:

1. Make sure the engine is off, then disconnect the negative battery terminal. Locate the overhead console in the center of the interior ceiling.
2. Locate the small grooves or indentations along the side of the overhead console. Insert the flat-bladed screwdriver into these indentations one at a time and press inward to disengage the holding clips.
3. Pull the overhead console out of the cavity and disconnect the electrical wiring located at the back of the console.
4. Discard the old console and connect the wiring to the new overhead console. Insert the new console into the cavity and press along the edges to engage the clips.
