Rear part of centre console working loose
The rear section of my centre console (the storage part) just won't stay engaged. I know it is supposed to be detachable, but presumably you should need to lift/push something to detach it?
If I get in the car & put any pressure on the unit at all, it comes off...anyone got any idea's how I can secure it properly. I can get it to engage, but presumably not fully? Tearing my hair out with this one ! |

There is a lever/handle on the base off it at the back. I would turn it over to check that the clips are engaging.
I hope that makes some sense. |

If you still have problems, you can fire in two self tappers in the rear beside the handle to keep it in - should be self explanatory when you have a look.
Might be worth some foam padding in there too - to stop the noise that they typically make! David

Thanks for that also. Had a look tonight & I now see the handle & the 'wings' that it operates. I've had a fiddle around with both bits & it does seem a bit more secure (if not quite 100%). I'll give it a few days before I resort to the self tapper option, but the foam is a good shout, as it is a bit creaky. Cheers.

Try some draft excluder type foam in a roll...meant for around door frames...... self adhesive and cheap! David

Anyone know how to remove the cupholder from the rear of the centre console?
I put a dongle in the cupholder whilst tidying, then closed the cupholder with the result that the dongle has fallen inside the console. Unfortunately, the console isn't detachable on my Exec as it was on my previous SE. |

David,
The console on the Exec is unlike the ones on the SE models, it doesn't detach. The "catch" at the bottom of the rear of the console doesn't move on this model. Do you know how it can be (hopefully easily) removed? |
