Mystery Part
Hello All,
I've been digging around inside the shifter plate lately chasing down an absent vacuum line and noticed this unknown part snuck between the driver's seat and the center console. It has the trim color (dk brown) in the center square. Anyone recognize this critter?
As always, many thanks to this forum and it's members.

That part goes at the end of the hand brake slide on the hand brake console. Its a decorative filler piece. By slide I'm talking about the black corrugated plastic thing that slides as you pull the handbrake up and down. It fills the gap at the end of the slot. The 2 clips just slip behind the sides of the console. Hope that makes sense. Maybe someone has a picture.

Yup,
It goes at the very front of the E-brake console to fill the gap. You can barely see it in this picture. Maybe someone will post a close-up pic.

It is part of the parking brake console. Most vendors call it a bezel, others call it an extension. It clips on where the front of the brake console meets the shifter console. The parking brake console seal slides under it.

Edit - The posts above beat me to the answer while I was looking for a diagram. Didn't find a good diagram. Most of the vendors sites have diagrams but they are too small to really see what is happening.

Ah, thar she blows! I figured it slipped out of somewhere while I was rooting around in the console area. Many thanks! Looks like I'll be back in there tomorrow digging around to replace the thing....
