Help with install of new painted console

Trying to install my new BumperPlugs painted center console and all was well until tried to reinstall the storage cubby lid. It seems that the new console has two loops sticking out that the original doesn't and the lid will not attach.

Any ideas. I/ve got a note in to Bumper Plugs but with the holiday just thought I'd try and get some immediate feedback.

Hey - what are you doing with the old console - do you want to get rid of it?

So do I cut the plastic hinge loops off the new Silver console? Oh and the old console has to go back to refund core charge.

Sorry for the highjack - what would it take to make you part with it? (we can take this offline with PMs if you want)

You dont have to cut it .. you can push that small cylindrical piece of metal to separate the armrest (cover) from the center console ... it comes off really easy ... at least that's waht I did ..
