Help: Centre console compartment wont close

[tinno]

hi guys,

I was playing around with my centre console the other day and I accidentally broke the middle compartment.

The pin that was holding it into position fell somewhere and I can find it. I've been trying to use a bobby pin as a substitute but I can't figure out how the pin was positioned in the first place.

Here are some pics to show you what i mean (the red circles show where the pin was that held the compartment up).

If it isn't too much to ask, could someone please take a pic of their centre console from a side on view so i can see how the pin was positioned?

Any help/ideas would be great!

cheers,

Tinno

hi mate,

I just ripped off the centre bit covering my gear stick, undid the screw behind the centre knob and pulled it directly forward.

This diy on 9th gen shows u how -> http://www.9thgencorolla.com/forum//showthread.php?t=22150
