My '98.
This console is 26.5" long.
Cut off the two rear hooks & attached it to the roof via 2 screws inside the middle door.
The roof is a double skin, but there isn't a lot of room between the 2.
Be VERY careful! Do not use screws that are too long so as to prevent going through the outer skin.
Mines been in there so long I can't remember the exact length.
An inch? Sounds about the length I used. But my H/L has been recovered with the non-original style material (perforated vinyl) & 1/8" closed cell foam, which is a lot firmer than the OE material. The CC doesn't compress as much.
Drill the holes for the rear screws in the console first.
Make sure that you re-use the plastic plug for the screw in the front.
I marked the front center of the H/L with chalk to find the console's location point.
Then I shifted the console fr>rr to find where it fit the contour of the H/L the best. Then mark & drill those rear holes.
Go through that inner metal skin, then use the bit to figure how long that the screws shouldn't be!
3/16" drill bit, #8" screws. ...or maybe a #10. (Damn memory! 'old-fart disease'!)
