Is it possible to remove and replace the lid from the centre console on a GSV50R (2013) Aurion please? I've had a bit of a look around without success so any suggestions would be appreciated.

Haven't done it personally but should be similar to this.

The Camry looks to be similar to the Aurion, but that rear section differs in that the Aurion has air vents for the dual stage climate control in it.

I would imagine the same could apply to removing that rear console trim piece. Instead of digging a screw driver into the side, I'd try yanking it out from the centre of the bottom first as the piece will need to come out straight. Note the four plastic push-in tabs.

Invest in the proper trim removal tools too. Don't use metal screwdrivers as they will damage the edges and will look like crap.

When I'm home later, I'll take a closer look at mine for you.

Thanks for your advice Tony. The Youtube video makes it look simple but I did notice the difference with the vents.

My trim removal tools are on order and hopefully they are up to the job!

Job done. I didn't need to use the trim removal tools after all - grabbing thew centre of the bottom as Tony suggested and pulling it out worked better than I expected.

There were no circular clips as shown in the Camry video (example below) as the pins were held in place by the bracket they pass through. All up a simpler task than expected.

Good stuff Fred. Glad it all went smoothly. Trim removal tools will come in handy at some point, so it's good that you have them now. Every car owner who does DIY stuff should have them anyway.

Merry Christmas. :thumbsup:
