Its quite easy actually! Take off the armrest completely. On the underside you will see the 4 pins that goes into the housing to form the hinges, towards the back the curved clips that assists in the pivoting and towards the front, the tongue used to release the locking device for either the upper tray or the lower compartment. There is a sequence to follow. First push down on the front tongue. While down squeeze in the side buttons. Hold it hard. The 4 pins will retract slightly. One at a time push down on the back curved arm all the way back. This movement will cause the assembly to lock in place for install and the 4 pins will retract all the way in. Gently place the armrest cover in place and then when aligned correctly, press down hard on the back and the front. The pins will come out and fasten inside the housing and the curved arms will lock into place too. Operate as usual. i will try to attach some pictures. Hope that helps somebody.

I have seen a forum post where someone has done a tear down on the lid, I will post a link if i can find it again!
I have a 2004 version of the armrest lid available for sale, in great condition. It varies very slightly to the 2003 version, which is why i couldn't use it. Can provide pics if anyone is interested..?
