Please help. I recently had to take out my centre tunnel console to gain access to the cigar lighter electronics. So far so good, but when I came to put it all back together again the screws towards the front of the console (at the bottom of both the cup holders) just went through the bottom of the console and could not be tighted up!! (these are the screws screwing part 3 to part 4 in console tunnel diagram on OEM). This means that I now have no fittings at the front of the console and only the two scres under the electirc minor adjustment panel holding it in place. I thought that I could use washers to bridge the gap, but the screws just go round and round in the holes. Any ideas? could I use bigger screws (if so which?), do I need to replace the lower console or are ther just so fitings in this that I could replace, please help.
