Default How do you remove remote touch arm rest/mouse pad?

I ordered carbon fiber interior trim for the center console but noticed it can’t fit unless I remove the armrest and mouse pad first. Here’s a response from the seller but it’s still not clear to me. Any step by steps guides on this?

To remove the mouse/joystick controller, you just need to pull straight up. Re-install by just lining up and pushing straight back down. This is what the controller/***** looks like when off: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...l#post10000630

Its similar with the wrist-rest: You need to pull upward from from the front:

thanks. Seller just got back with me and clarified that I don’t have to remove the armrest/mouse pad but just the long right side panel he circled. I’m assuming it’s just held on by clips for the most part

Where did you purchase this carbon fiber overlay?

Was it eBay maybe?

I actually like the **** for the drive mode selector (mine is scratched a bit and something simple to cover it up would be nice!). I recall this old thread about an aluminum cover but I don't think they have these anymore: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-...tch-cover.html

yep, both links are what I bought. Overly expensive with ridiculous shipping prices. The parts I had issues with are the trim that goes over the heated/cool seats area, one side was sloppily cut and also the cupholder lid trim. I installed it to fit perfectly around the chrome button thing and now I can't open/close my cupholders smoothly anymore. Because doing so will cause damage, my cupholder trim started to become damaged so now I just keep the cupholder lid open now. I mentioned this to the seller and of course he never responded
