The center console on my Ranger XLT has become loose over time, probably from pulling on it to climb into the truck. I can't find any bolts that I might tighten down and I'd like to know how to remove or tighten the console.

Thank you.

Hello

Use the picture below to help..You will have to remove the small arm rest screw covers to access the bolts. There will be 4 arm rest bolts and 2 rear arm rest screws along with 2 screws in the front utility tray. Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Cheers
