Center console arm rest question

[Marlin]

I thought the only difference was the tires and wheels. It does explain why the armrest is so thick in my '01. They probably used the same console, but just thickened the armrest to make it more useable.

Nope, there are several differences. Climate control in the 00 and 01 is different than the manual 99. I know the 01 AC compressor is completely different than the others. Those are the ones I know of, that means there must be others, what are the chances that I have personally come across all the little differences? I will compare the arm rest from the 99 and mine and see if they are the same.

The lid assembly shown in the Parts Manual (page 12) has different part numbers for 1999 and 2000/2001. (Ditto for the "Upper Lock.") Also, the center console as a complete assembly is listed as "to 5/99" with a second part number for "from 6/99 through 2001".

Makes me wonder if the lid & upper lock on my VX are incorrect. It doesn't seem to "latch" solidly - kinda like the toof that hangs down off the lid (the lock) doesn't line up with the latch on the lower console.
