How do I remove the front center console?
Hi,
I'm new here and have to say this is by far the best car I have ever owned.
I just bought my car used with 130,000+ miles but the original owner maintained it well and it still looks and runs as new.
I had a rip in the front seat and brought the car into replace the front seat upholstery and they did a great job but did exterior and interior damage to my car.
They person installing the seats did not cover over the sharp edges of the seats footing that bolts to the floor and when installing the seats he carelessly put two big gashes on the side of the console, which sliced through a fabric coating. I want to remove the console to replace the part, or have it recovered and youtube does not show how to remove the center console on a 2010 ES 350.
Can anyone give instructions or a few tips before I start breaking parts trying to disassemble this thing prying where I might not want to be.
I was going to have them fix it, but suspected the idiot that did this would cause more damage and I better just fix it myself.
I greatly appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Neil
