There are also some 'cover it yourself kits'. Do a google on 'explorer console repair kit'.

A local junk yard is always nice place to look.. but dont try finding any foglights.. i think i've purchased them all within a 200 mile radius! haha I change foglights as frequent as my oil!

Here is the link to the page where one of our users made a 'how-to' on recovering it yourself: 1998 Mercury Mountaineer Center Console Lid repair

I've recovered a few of them using basically this same procedure. $5-$10 in material from a fabric shop and about 30 minutes of work and you are good to go...

Not to jump subjects but any ideas about fixing my steering wheel in my EB.. everytime i took it to a shop for anything they'd clean it with that spray on stripper junk.. now the tan is gone and it's all nasty and the black undercoat is showing!
