Center Console Bolt
How do you get to the center console bolt between the seat back wall?
I pulled the carpet but still can't see the bolt?
Thanx in advance.

Passenger side power window wouldn't go down last night. I thought it might be the switch since the drivers side worked. That's reason for removing the center console. Well, decided not to remove the console b/c that bolt was tricky to get to. Then about 1/2 hour ago, I tried the window again and it worked. It sounds different than the drivers side so I am guessing its the motor or something in the door panel.

Also, at least in the later years you can pull just the front part of the console, where the switches are without pulling the rear.

Did you check for power to the motor first? It's easier to pull the door panel than the center console. If you have power at the motor then use a jumper wire from the battery to test the motor.

Down by the Lighthouse in Barnegat Light would be a great place to meet and take a cruise down to Holgate and back. Great spot for pics too.

You do that and you will have nothing but C5 and C6 cars there with tons of wax.
