    Hi.
    I have some heavy scuff marks on the rear components of the center console in my 2010 Prius. I'm wondering if anyone has instructions on how to disassemble the console. The parts that I am looking at replacing are the covers at the rear of the console and I am hoping that I don't have to take the whole car apart to do it. :)
    Thanks :)

    Update: I managed to remove the bottom part at the rear of the console. The only thing I need to do now is to remove the arm rest, which will allow me to get at the little plastic piece at the the rear of the armrest. There are 4 screws holding the rear of the arm rest in place, but even with those removed the armrest will not come off.

    you have one more bolt to go. this is hidden just in front of the center cup holder, it's a black concave looking cover piece. carefully pry this out and you will see the fifth bolt holdig it in.
