I've got an '03 with a center console (the one with the armrest assembly) that looks like this:
I'm trying to remove it so I can fix its mounting bolts (their heads pulled through the floor).
I'm stuck on two screws (of some sort) that are in recessed upsidedown wells at the front of the console near the floor. The clearance is too short to get even a stubby screwdriver in there so I tried a screwdriver bit. I turned and turned and it seems like there's friction but nothing ever comes out. I finally managed to get a mirror and some light in there and it looks like it could be a hex screw, but i can't tell for sure. And none of my hex keys will fit up in there anyway (the short end is too short, the long end too long).
Does anyone know what those two screws are?
Doing searches on this, it appears Ford changed the design somewhere in the 2000's, as most people talk about pulling screws from the cupholders. On my console there are no visible screws from the top in the front at all.
Help! I'm really frustrated.
