easy way to remove center console drawer or take apart console?

cwerdna · 08-06-2007, 01:15 AM

After digging around here and on Google, I couldn't seem to find the answer to this...

Is there an easy way to remove the "secret" center console drawer? I had it stuffed w/a bunch of things today and lost a piece of paper. I think it ended up behind there because I can sometimes feel it by reaching behind the drawer (along w/some wires and connectors). My hand isn't small enough so I'd rather pull the drawer out.

Is there an easy way w/o breaking anything? How about disassembling the center console?

To be clear, I'm talking about the drawer underneath the armrest console (which contains the power plug and aux in jack), not the center stack w/the radio, MFD and pocket.

Nevermind. I found the answer at http://www.priusonline.com/viewtopic.php?p...ighlight=#93245.

It was VERY tough to get out. Even before I had time to visit any sites and was still away from home, I tried squeezing and pulling upwards to no avail. I guess I didn't have the right technique.

And yes, the piece of paper was back there, like I suspected.
