Take out the center console.
Install the bracket.
Put it back.
Install armrest.


You can install the bracket without take out the center console but the time and effort it takes to get the forth bolt in with it in negates any work saved leaving it in.

Wait, this isn't common sense?

Lays bracket in with counsel not removed *doesn't fit* (tries 3 more ways) removes center counsel, bolts in bracket reinstalls center counsel attaches armrest and snaps the panels back on.

My exact install.

Please don't take this the wrong way...

What parts are you missing? There's not much there, the armrest, bracket, cupholder, and bolts.

if you push both seat forward all the way, take out those two screws for the console on the side, and use some muscle you can get the bracket in without taking out the console.

Thing is then the 4th bolt is near impossible to get in.

I unbolted mine but never took it out out. Then with an extension and leaning of the console you can get the front two bolts taken care of

This is what I did. I only put two bolts in the bracket though, all you really need.
