An assembly configured to be installed in a vehicle interior is disclosed. The assembly may comprise a base configured for attachment at the attachment point in the vehicle interior and a component coupled to the base configured for movement relative to the base from (a) a storage (or shipping) position wherein the attachment feature is accessible for attachment of the base to the vehicle interior to (b) an installed (or pivot) position wherein the component blocks the attachment feature. The component may comprise a set of members or tabs configured to move from a biased position to retain the component in the storage position to a deflected position to allow movement of the component from the storage position to the installed position. The member may comprise a recess and/or ribs configured to facilitate retention of the component in the storage position. The base may comprise a set of guides and a set of notches; the component may comprises a set of protrusions or pins configured so that the component may slide within guides as the component is moved between the storage position (e.g. in the recesses) and the installed position (e.g. in the notches). The base and the component may be shipped together and installed into the vehicle interior as a unit; the component may be movable from the storage/shipping position to the installed/pivot position after installation into the vehicle interior. The component may pivot or rotate relative to the base in use. The component may comprises a cover, a lens, a button, a door, a cover with lens, a lens assembly, a door on a hinge, a cover on a hinge, etc. A method of installing a console providing a base and a cover providing a lens to a vehicle interior is also disclosed.
