How to remove the mid folding seat/console top ?
My middle console lid has a large "dip" due to previous owner always driving with his elbow on same spot.
I need to replace the lid, not the whole console, since I have here a wrecked 2001 with excellent top but, I just bought a smoothie cup-holder (awesome) for 94-97 and cannot swap the whole thing or I'll have to buy another holder.
Anybody has done this ?
