You mean like this?
I know that Eddid01 got the lid off, but for the people who haven't done this mod yet and want to see images of it, here you go:
You don't need to remove the entire lid from the console to get to the leather part.
Step One: Open the console lid. Once you do you will see 6 screws holding on a cover panel. Remove these screws and remove the panel:
Step Two: With the cover panel removed you will see 4 smaller screws holding on a retaining panel. This panel holds two rollers that retain the track that allows the lid to slide back and fourth. Remove these 4 screws:
Step Three: Remove the track rollers that hold the leather console lid to the track, once the two rollers are removed slide the lid off pulling upwards:
Step Four: With the lid removed, you will see 6 more screws. Remove these screws to access the leather portion of the lid:
Step Five: Remove the leather from the lid. This is very simple as you just peel the old leather away:
I don't have any images of the re-upholstery portion as I took these images from the spare console I purchased to test this on. Simply remove the old leather from the lid and re-apply this new leather the same way you removed it. I used Dap 121 (

Be sure to place some foam on the console before putting the new leather on to soften the armrest. You can re-use the old foam if you want.
Also be sure to make the fit as snug as possible trimming any overlap from the underside of the console. If you don't ensure a tight fit the panel with the 6 screws won't fit just right and the console lid won't open as smoothly. The button you press up to open the lid will stick and you will have to remove everything all over again and trim. Trust me, I know.. lol
I hope this helps anybody interested.
