Center console with gear sift repair

[janepabst]

The center console with the gear sift and window buttons has come loose and the buttons have dropped. The rubber seal around the gear sift is loose. How do I repair this? I am a lady but have repaired other things on my car with the help of the nice people on this forum. I have a 1989 420 sel four door. Thanks Jane
