[Chicago Jon]

New to the board no pics yet. 2005 Limited looking for a center console between 2nd row bucket seats.

I've seen tis done on the 3rd gen, Remove the middle seat and swap it out for a console from a navigator

check out my thread I did on this. The console can be had for cheap on ebay, but you need brackets

Does the arm rest on a Navigator 2nd row console flip forward so it’s level with the buckets when dropped for a flat load floor, or does it stick up higher because Lincoln owners aren’t expected to haul things? Lol

I will be hauling a 3 wheel recumbent cycle. I need something to fill the space between the 2nd row buckets for the 3rd wheel to rest on. Also we’d like to go camping and toss a foam mattress in the back. I can’t decide to go factory jump seat or console. I know for sure the jump seat drops flat level with the buckets.

It does not move. It sticks up above the "floor" when the seats are all folded.

Its not difficult to remove and reinstall if it makes sense for your use. If you only do this on occasion anyway. It's just large though not especially heavy.

Somehow the text of this post disappeared.
This is a Ford Freestyle/TaurusX 2nd row center console. I liked how the armrest flips forward so it becomes the same or very close to the same height as the seats when they’re in cargo floor position. Also it’s narrower than the Navigator console, so the armrest can be left on the bucket seats. Wasn’t sure I wanted to go with it or find the jump seat. But today was nice weather and I found myself taking it apart, cleaning, and spraying with black vinyl dye. I trimmed the front edge where it had a slight curve for the Freestyle transmission hump.

How does that black vinyl dye hold up? Does it scratch off easily? I love seeing your work.

It’s all in the prep. If the surface is 100% clean then it actually bonds into the plastic. The cleaner needs to be a clean rinse, no residue left behind. I love Marine Clean from POR-15, but this time I had a couple cans of Sprayway glass cleaner we use on our glass top kitchen stove and I watched a YouTube of a body shop using it on a fender right before painting. It’s a strong cleaner degreaser and dries very fast.

I’ve had very good results with Duplicolor Vinyl & Fabric spray, even on trim outside the vehicle. I’m going to spray the rear bumper pad with it later after I’m done with the transmission swap.
