    There is a penny down some where in my arm rest. I spilled part of a can of pop into the front folding cup holder and now the hinge area is all yucky. How hard is it to pull the armrest counsel apart? Any hints or tips on getting started? I just want it to be clean and I want my penny back!

    The front part comes off real easy. IIRC, you grab it around where the pullout drawer is and pull forward. It'll swing up a bit, then pull up so the top tabs clear. That removes the forward cup holder.

    I've removed it a couple of times as I'm trying to figure out where to drill a hole to run a wire through. I have a semi-permanent adapter plugged into the power outlet there and I want to route the wire differently than over the top.
