Center console parts on a 97

[merlinx]

Hi all, I have a 97 pathy and I am noticing that the center console might have some parts missing. As you know the it has 2 levels and 2 latches to open the console. I think Im missing a tray or divider of some type. When I open the top part, I can see all the way to the bottom. I think there should be a tray or divider between the 2 levels on the center console. Am I right? Also, Should there be a flap that closes on the lid of the center console? Like to put your wallet or something? There seems to be an indentation on the lid but no flap. I know other cars I have had, had this. Any sugestions on where to get these other than the dealer? The self pick a parts here in southern Cali dont have new trucks like this. Any suggestions would help especially in So Cal. Thanks

Not sure if this helps but.... my 02 has a two part center consol like you describe. And yes it has removable floor from the top compartment. Not sure about the other bit. And I can not help you with any ideas for parts but why not make one from some suitable styrene? Try a hobby shop to get a good thickness (or use some sort of sheet metal like brass or aluminum that is easy to work with).

Yes, it came with a divider tray. I think I took mine out as well shortly after buying my 97, made the bottom compartment too short with it in. Probably has a part# on it if I can find it, or maybe someone else will post it.

Well, after finding out that the dealer wanted $30 for the divider I decided to find one in the junk yard. Funny, nobody had one. I ended up making it my self. What I did was make it into 3 separate campartments. I glued a piece of hard board on the bottom of the lower part of the campartment then I made a piece of plexi glass fit perfectly and screwed a little knob. Its kinda cool cause I can store the stuff I hardly use at the bottom part and the rest I sort accordingly.
