contrary to what many people think, the rs/gs console, when stripped is the exact same thing.
Parts needed: GS/GST/GSX Armrest (1) GS/GST/GSX Armrest plastic hinge (2, L/R) GS/GST/GSX Armrest metal hinge (1) 12X1/2 sheet metal screw (2) 10X1/2 sheet metal screw (4) 10X screw clip (2) GS/GST/GSX Armrest storage console (1)
1-carefully pull out rs center storage bin (be patient), once done, you will now see where the armrest latches in, 2 slots for the plastic hinges, as well as 2 notches towards the rear of the compartment. 2-with 12X1/2 sheet metal screw, attatch metal hinge to armrest (it can only go one way) 3-with 10X1/2 sheet metal screws (2) attatch both plastic guide hinges to the left and right side of the armrest 4-with 10X screw clip (2) slide onto 2 notches mentioned previously on the rear of the console. 5-insert plastic hinge into the 2 slots previously mentioned 6-allign metal hinge with 10X screw clips (2) and screw hinge on tight with 10X1/2 sheet metal screws (2) 7-inspect all screws for tightness 8-insert/snap in GS/GST/GSX Armrest storage console (1) into center console
