Overhead console in a Sy/ GT **NOW WITH PICS** - SyTy/SGT

jjorgensen52 · 12-18-2006, 06:56 PM

Anyone on here happen to know how long the overhead console in a Typhoon is, versus how long the roof of a Sy is?

And, does anyone care to snap a few pics of the headliner above the rear window in a Sy or GT for me?

I can measure my overhead for you if you want.

jjorgensen52 · 12-18-2006, 08:01 PM

Actually, I got it measured... thanks for the offer though

be looking for an update on this in the next day or two

hopefully I can find one with the temp and homelink

What did you find out? I tried to do some research on this and everything I found was that it wont fit without modification ( too long ) did you come up with something else?

The have small ones without all the storage compartments.

I mention it every time this gets brought up.

8-10" maybe?

jjorgensen52 · 12-19-2006, 04:08 PM

according to preliminary measurements, this will all work out nicely.
The roof console in my 93 (2 door style) is 30 1/4 inches is length from front to rear, not including the 3/4" at between it and the headliner edge up front

The cab in the sonoma, from the front edge of the headliner to the back edge of the dome lamp (approx 1/2" from rear glass) is 31 1/2" ... which gives us 30 3/4" if you subtract the distance at the headliner.

Going to triple check everything tonight, and I'm going to get a bellhousing tomorrow so I will pick up a console too.

And Midnightblu.... the whole reason for having the overhead is for those compartments / the map lights

... I am eventually going to get a new model console to steal the homelink panel and temp display out of.

What is a homelink panel? Is it just the compass?

Might help a little more if you throw out a part number for that.. And what year/model maybe.

it replaces the garage door opener panel... it has three built in transmitters

I thought you were talking about the longer console, not the little one.

Alright fellas, stand by for pictures of the swap. I have all the parts I need.

attackdog · 12-20-2006, 06:30 PM

Is anyone getting these for a GP or is there a link that we can get them from? I am really interested because I love the Homelink setup that I have in the Denali. Let me know please. Thanks.

I'm really liking the idea, but I was thinking more so I could mount 1 or 2 more gauges up there, less important but needed ones.
