1) There are 2 screws in the console. For the one in front, I went to Lowes looking for a piece of wood. In their aisle for fasteners and what not, I found a wooden wheel to replace a broken wheel on a child's toy. I picked up some new Elmer's adhesive and glued it under the headliner, straight on the roof. For the rear, I drilled a 1/4" hole in one of the compartments, and using a 1" washer and long screw, I screwed it into the place where the OEM light screws in. The washer is larger than the hole size, so it let's you center the console when attaching it. Here's a pic, I'll grab a better one showing a better perspective @ lunch.
2) I'm 6'3", no issues.
