Center console cover removal

Lexus Test Driver
Big thanks to Lextrician! After looking at the diagram on Sewell's site and the tip above about prying off the back trim piece (the whole back part is one piece), I noticed the four screws right there and two green wheels holding the top cover on. I took these off and out came the cover. From there it was a 10 minute job of just switching the metal track and popping off the front latch mechanism. Saved me a trip to the dealer and $60! Unfortunately I didn't take any pics but hopefully this thread will help anyone else looking to do this in the future.
thumbs up for getting it done, told you it was cake bro! glad to save you some time and cash..

TIP: after all the bolts are removed it will still be hard to pull the center console back as if you missed a bolt. It may feel like you are going to break it. Insert something either on the passenger or driver (or both) side near the front of the console to pry the two clips holding it in place (one on each side). I used a plastic trim tool i got a harbor freight a while back. It was maybe 1/4 thick. One you do this it will slide right out. Hope this helps.
