!!You're fun Fred!!...I wait for your responses, cause I either get a good laugh or learn something I wanted to know. Thnkas... I think there's something really special lodged down there...like a gold broach or something...dream on....
Maybe I can go in from the side with a light and a long screw driver and see something...I was trying to not have to take the whole thing apart, since it's all so pretty with the stereo and etc..

PS, I quit when my kids were born, hardest thing I can remember from that time

Console top needs to come off...you don't need to pull the radio or anything out. A screw in the cup holder and a couple under the lid and I think that's it.

I lucked out, I used a bright light and could see that some cable had lodged itself in the way of the swinging arm that lets it down, so with a long screw driver and patience, I was able to free it at the back...ya win some...
