Lexus Repair - Removing center console on 1999 RX300
Expert: CHARLES HALSTEAD - 1/28/2009
Question I am hoping to find a printed guide on removing the center console (between the front seats) from my 1999 RX300. Thanks you for any help you can provide.

Answer UNFORTUNATELY I'M UNABLE TO ATTACH A COPY OF THE PROCEDURE, BUT THE
TASK IS QUITE SIMPLE. FIRST REMOVE THE UPPER CONSOLE BOX COVER. THIS IS THE TOP PIECE WITH THE VENTS TOWARD THE BACK.IT HAS 6 CLIPS. JUST USE A SCREWDRIVER THAT IS TAPED ON THE END, AND SEPARATE IT FROM THE MAIN CONSOLE BOX. NEXT, YOU NEED TO REMOVE 2 SCREWS AND 4 BOLTS THAT ATTACH THE MAIN CONSOLE BOX TO THE FLOOR.THE 2 SCREWS ARE LOCATE AT THE FRONT BEHIND A CAP ON THE SIDE. POP THE CAPS OFF AND REMOVE THE SCREWS. NEXT, ABOUT 5 INCHES BACK OF THE AREA WHERE THE SCREWS WERE, THERE IS A PLASTIC COVER PLATE. ITS THE ABOUT THE SAME WIDTH AS THE BOX. POP THE PLATE. THERE YOU WILL SEE 2 BOLTS. THE OTHER 2 BOLTS ARE LOCATED IN THE REAR WHERE THE BACK VENT IS LOCATED ON TOP. THATS IT. GOOD LUCK.
