No. Hidden by what? I thought that was the finished piece. I mean, it’s hidden by one of my steering wheel spokes, but every time I turn, I see it, and wonder, “why me, Lord, why me?”
Oh. Gotcha. No. It came like that. Didn’t realize the structure was wrong. I’ll look at what happened. I’ve seen a lot of cars like this, it seems. So I assumed it was the way it left the factory.
That vertical piece looks to be pretty fixed in place. Like there’s only one way for it to sit in there. I can see what you’re saying though. The aluminum trim is supposed to sit on top of it. I think the trim piece may be in wrong.
Thanks for that, guys. That mostly mitigates the problem. The leather painter guy I know will certainly be able to touch the rest up. He does really nice work.
Glad I asked here
Hmmmm. Maybe. Looking at the piece on my car, it really does look like the deepest part was installed under something. There’s scoring where it seems to have been pulled out.
I wonder if anyone has any insight on how to repair these items? The center console trim, I’ve gotten no’s from two quality upholstery repair shops. I didn’t ask about the lower gearshift area. That seems more straightforward. But I still wonder if there’s a shortcut for that, like a replacement part, etc, that might make the best sense.
Any pointers would be appreciated

Nope. If I tried to replicate your work, it would look like a pre-school art project—no idea whether it’s an airplane or a cow.
Wow. Now, that’s some quality work. I hate to take everything out of mine. It’s all so tight, and in pretty darned good shape.lateral central console
