Default Do NOT put coins in the center console storage and flip the arm rest back! (more)

Yesterday, I tossed some pennies into the center console storage bin and flipped the arm rest back. Well, after I flipped the arm rest forward again, I found out that the storage lid would not open all the way. What had happened is that two of the pennies got stuck in both of the hinges in the lid. I spent a good twenty minutes plucking them out with a pair of tweezers!<p>Abhijit<br>2.8 QM

I did the same dumbass thing. However, I was too impatient to pry out with tweezers, so I did what any other red-blooded male would do--I popped the lid right off. They come off pretty easy--just squeeze both tabs towards each other.<p>

I purchased a coin holder from Clair, it fits in the front portion of armrest and works great. ~$12

is that your car in the picture? Are those Onyx cloth seats? Is your car a 99.0 or 99.5 model?
