Default Center armrest lid removal, need help

I'm wanting to pull the lid off of my center armrest to send out for CF wrapping. Is it possible to remove the lid without pulling up the console? I took out the five screws that you can see with the lid open, but it looks like there is one more screw to remove.

Does anyone that has had theirs covered have any advice? Or anyone else for that matter.

I'm kind of coming at it from two different directions.
I'm going back and forth with CFE and am trying to get a jump on sending the pieces to him.
Just thought someone here might have a quick answer.

Also you can remove the center console armrest by removing the cup holder tray that is inside the console. There will be two screws on the very bottom. So believe there is 5-7 screws total. You don't have to remove the console for the console armrest

Any pics? I pulled out the cup holder and everything under the console lid and I'm clueless. (and sweating like a little fat man )

so this thread never really got answered, and I'm just as lost as the OP with trying to remove the lid. anyone got anything? I've removed every screw I can find and the only solution I can see is removing the entire center console... but the lid will still be attached so wtf...?

I'd check the FSM. It may treat the whole armrest as one unit, but worth a try.

There is a finisher near the hinge that pops out (nice little hidey-hole under it). There may be a screw(s) under there.

It looks like to me that Nissan removes it as a unit. The complete center console. Check out here. Pages 25 & 26

Ive removed mine by taking out the whole center console, its not too hard to take the whole thing out. It makes it easier to work with too instead of trying to reach under it in the car.
