Mine has the cell phone base still in it - how does that entire puece come out? Is it glued? clipped? pinned.. etc? I want to get mine out to recover.

ThanksFred

Its held in by some adhesive. You should be able to easily peel it out.

I ran to the fabric store and bought E6000 textile glue and some flat black vinyl. I threw it together in a couple minutes. Its not great, but better than before. Looked like the last owner had a dog or something.

For those who aren't as good with arts and crafts projects... that mat is relatively inexpensive - or at least it was when I bought one back in '02. I would be sure to seal up the holes in the actual center console. If you dump a drink in there, having a direct path to the airbag computer isn't desirable.
