Console top plate questions

Wood grain shown in post #4 is not OEM. 67/68 didn't have wood grain on console. Deleting that ash/dust/everything collecting groove in the middle of top was one good thing they did. Then their added push button is the same piece of crap as on glove box doors. If used regularly the spring inside eventually overcomes the 2 little screws in pot metal holding the assembly together. It falls apart.
