Interior question....
Just wondering if anyone knows why the center storage/armrest cover slides forward about 5-6 inches. Just messing with it today and couldnt figure out why it did it...or is mine broken or something

It slides because....
This is a comfort feature of the arm rest. It slides forward so more of your arm and elbow have the opportunity to rest on it. When furthest back, mine for one doesn't fit it very well. Try moving it around to find your comfort position.

I really like this feature - use it every day.
In fact, the armrest wasn't high enough, and didn't project far enough forward to suit me, so I raised and extended it with a hidden plastic "box" - now its perfect. Next I'll install a blue light (narrow beam, like the overhead lights that illuminate the console) hidden under the armrest that shines on an analog clock installed on one of the two storage doors in the console, just fore of the shifter.

Elbow comfort. Plain and simple.
When in "selfish-mode", You only have one cup holder available, and a comfy place to put your arm. When in "generous-mode", you get an additional cup holder for your friend or S.O., and no comfy arm rest.
I use it in "selfish-mode" daily!

The sliding armrest has been a feature of the TL since the second generation came out. It is very handy and allows to you further customize the positioning of the controls and rest your right arm in a comfortable position for driving. A good idea overall.
