crummy center console
Anyone know how to fix the center console slider's button. This thing feels pretty cheap and i knew it would only be a matter of time before i broke it...

Warranty... I had mine fixed under warranty when one of the little plastic legs came off that help it slide more smoothly. I would take it in to the dealer.

cool covered
Cool. I did not know that part was coverd.. I will surely give them a call. It's small damage, but its bothering the heck out of me. Nothing worse than having a flawless interior, with a broken button...

Same thing happened to me; I took it into the dealer and they ordered the new part for me under warranty without a blink of an eye. The interior seems a little fragile in my Rx8...the AC button on the center console cracked on mine as well.

what do you think about just taking the lid off. it is a pos and will
eventually break. i like to leave it open anyway and it just slides around anoying me. has anyone just yanked it off.

It's next to impossible for me to get in without resting my elbow on the center piece and apply pressure. I have been retraining myself to use the outer edge of the console instead. I believe the 2005 model should have a more user friendly and sturdier design.
