Someone posted somewhere on a wish llist for a spring to hold up the center console...Not sure if earlier models are different, but if you lift it until it "hits", then a little more, it stays open. There is a "catch" that holds it open.

 

[woohoo]

What a relief

THANK YOU!!! I have fought that console lid since I got the truck and I couldn't figure out why they didn't make it latch open...You have made my day!! Thanks so much for that info :thumbs

This information is also in my book.

I discovered it accidentally myself . . .

I tell you, you learn something new here every day! :thumbs

Now I won't have to trade my SSR in on that Lotus or Boxer!

I also want to thank you for the help. Probably never would have found the hold open if not for this site. Motordoctor

I posted that probably a year ago, and several people, I don't remember who, posted that if anybody followed my advice, that they would break the console lid. At our Half Moon Bay Run this weekend, it was brought up again, and I asked Tim, the Service Mgr. about it and he said that the catch was designed in and all you had to do was lift the door til it caught and it would stay up. Finally, vindicated.

I appreciated your post a year ago.....because I was fighting it at the time.
Thanks
