Center console help

Does anybody know how to remove the white plastic piece that goes over the cup holders? It wiggles around, so it’s not screwed down, but I can’t see how it clips on there. The vinyl and foam was detached and starting to curl up all the way around and it came of easily.

Tagged. My vinyl is starting to peel up around that piece. I'm considering converting it to wood myself....

That's exactly what I needed, thanks!

Ya, looks stupid! Does it really take 12 points to hold that down? They should have spent as much thought in keeping the vinyl attached as this piece of plastic.

Guys, If I'm understanding this correctly a replacement upholstered part/top is needed here??

Check out Ebay, I believe they have ALL colors available for under $30 shipped.

I've bought a couple ebay ones. They're not perfect but they look one hell of a lot better than that garbage OEM stuff once it starts swelling/pulling out from the retainer.

Mine is in good shape, just pulling up on the edges. It's definitely worth trying to reattach for the cost of no dollars. If it doesn't work or looks like crap, I'll go for the Ebay replacement.

So quick question. My center console piece is in good shape as well. Just some of the vinyl is starting to lift up around that white plastic piece. Is the vinyl piece glued in place or does it somehow snap into the white piece? Just wondered how you get that part off to get to the plastic piece?

The foam/vinyl is glued to the white plastic piece. Mine was pretty easy to peal off, it had already detached all the way around the plastic piece.

FYI the linked Ebay parts are hard plastic replacements, not padded like OEM. Pros and cons.

Good to know. I'll definitely be fixing mine. My arm spends a lot of time on that padded rest. Especially looking at the 6000+ mile trip coming up!

I used the method in the vid several months ago. I do not remember where I got my replacement but it is ABS style not the foam rubber from ford. It took about 30 minutes for the entire job to replace the part. Looks good just a slight different color due to the sun and age fade not matching 100%.
