There's a bracket that is screwed into the body of the car, close to the gear stick, and the console screws into that on either side. The bracket is curved around the gear stick, and the two ends (where the console screws in) bend downwards to accommodate the console screws. If I need to pull mine off in the near future (and you're still stuck!), I'll take some photos
