I have a severe rattle in the front TV compartment in our '04 Journey. When I attempted to remove the fascia around it, I couldn't figure out how to get it loose. The plastic seems to be connected to the wood in some way. Need advice from someone who has taken the TV out, or has at least removed the shroud from around it. Thanks!

My memory is sketchy but I recall on our 35U that there are 2 screws holding it on that can be reached from each of the 2 side compartments...2 on each side. They were a bear to get to the first time but once you've done it, it gets easier. Look in the compartments towards the TV and you should see them. Good luck!

Belgique is correct...I remove my wood frame each time when I take the LCD TV in and out for the winter (freeze possible), so instead of using the four wood screws repeatedly, I use thumb screws for which I also use the matching nuts that press into the wood bezel from behind. That way I only have to loosen them by thumb; also won't wear the wood out. Also use velcro to secure the TV at the top and bottom of TV case. Also I left the plastic shroud off the frame (goes around the bottom of TV compartment) which could possibly cause overheating caused by the TV. Somebody is discussing overheating of DVD and DVR units in adjacent compartments. We also have he 36G Journey (2004)
Just some nearly random thoughts.

Belgique is correct. Open the cabinets on each side of the TV. Down low in the cabinet on the inner wall, you'll find 2 black screws that go into the wood frame. Remove those and the wood frame and cowling all come down as one piece. As you start to drop it down, reach over the top of the frame and disconnect the speaker wires on that center speaker.
I went through the same thing early on. Tightened the strap that goes over the top of the TV and have had no more rattles...at least not from the TV

Thanks for the advice. I'll give it a go this week-end and see if I can stop the rattle.
