2007 SL550 Center Console

Does anyone know how to remove the lid of the center console. The previous owner must have rested their elbow on it and cracked the leatherette material. I see I can purchase the entire center console on Ebay, which is fine however I do not want to take out the whole center console just replace the top lid. Any help would be appreciated.

SL550 Center console

Sorry Mercy-Me, I did not explain myself very well. What I am looking to do is replace the center console bin cover/lid. The top cracked and does not look good any more. I have attached a picture of what I am looking to replace. It is item #2. I hope this helps you better understand.

Okay I think the attached is what you need. Looks like you can do the replacement without pulling the entire console. A real bonus!

Good Luck,

Bob

Does anyone know what the part right behind the front console is called. I am trying to find some parts that belonged there that were removed?

Thanks,
T
