Default Re: Disassembly of center console arm rest lid

Too as you mentioned I believe the remaining parts are in fact glued together. I did do a quick search on Car-Parts for a used part, and as you mentioned conditions and color matching can be tricky. I'll search ebay see what I come up with.
Thanks for replying, I've been a fan since I bought the car and found the forum in 2011, Take care.
You can buy a used one and spray paint it the color that matches your car, the paint is available. Since it is easy to remove it will also be easy to paint. A used one will have wear and tear and then just use your silver trim so it matches.
