Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I puchased a new lower center consel (sp?) and had my local shop paint it for me arctic silver. I went to install it last night and transferred all of the clips, etc. from the old the the new unit. Everything went great but I cannot figure out how to remove the storage lid and cover from the old unit to install it on the new?
I figured out how to remove the leather cover and expose the spring for the lid. This gives me access to the fabric tensioner. I then remove the fabric piece and spring so I can access what looks like to very small hex nuts. However nothing fits in these nuts to remove them. Any idea how to remove this piece so I can transfer it to the newly painted unit? It is the metal piece that holds the spring and plastic bottom piece to the lid cover.
I may have to take some pics to better explain.
TIA,
Adam
Pics would help but it sounds like you had the same problem I did when I bought my new painted rear center console. Problem is that you need a new hinge set (about $10). Don't hold me to that until I see pics of what you are asking.
Hey, cool I think I found what I need on RennTech. I'll order the parts.

Anybody know where the best place to order is from?
Thanks again,
Adam
Maybe Kilrgt is correct??? What if I cut the rivets with the small hand saw? Will the whole piece disconnect? I could then just use new 4mm pop rivets.
Adam
We won't know who is correct until we see pics of the two consoles to give you a more accurate response. We have both given you responses based on what you haven given us.
Damm Why didnt i take pics.....My new console did not have the hing, I simply re-used the one from my center console...This proves it I dont care how little i think the mod is I MUST TAKE pics..And oh I did no such thing as cutting everything unbolted...
Found the pics I took when I did the same thing!!! Thought I had lost them forever. Anyway, you can see from below that the new silver console I bought from the dealer had NO hinge bracket installed and the old console had its' bracket pop riveted to the old one. No way to take so I bought the new hinge kit (roughly $10-15) and installed it on the new one and transferred everything over. He is a link to how to do everything when it was discussed some time back on Renntech(

). Hope this helps.
I just purchased the hinge kit as well. It was $20 and I bent my old one trying to pry it off. Look like a real easy swap.
Once again, thanks everyone for your help.
