center console removal

[jlch]

I am trying to remove the armrest/ console piece that holds the power window switches and holds the center armrest. I took out the four screws on the sides and she ain't moving. Is there something else holding it in? maybe something under the carpet at the rear of the console?

You got it. There's a bolt holding the rear of the console in place. It's most easily reached through the battery door in the rear compartment, IIRC.

Got it! Thanks.
good thing I didn't rip the back of the console off.

The fun part is getting that bolt back into the console. I know I learned a few new words.

The way you put that bolt back in is to use a threaded rod. Screw the rod into the bracket and put it back in place and then put a nut on the threaded rod. A little slot in the end of the rod will help you adjust the length to fit.
