it was a 04 base not an ls. what i did is cut hole 1st to inspect. then once i saw i didnt have shit was trim the opening on open to clear the console. i put a anchor in the little slot since the oem screw thing wasnt there. then i wired up a ground to beam up front and ran a wire to the fuse box to a hot source. and for the back i cut the clips off the console and drilled a screw through the back. i put a small piece of mdf in the back above the headliner prior so i would have something to screw into. other than the one screw in the back it looks and works fine.
it was a drywall anchor a plastic one that i could bend up in the slot then tighten up they look like a t or arrow head kinda. you can buy that fitting for that slot though at the dealer.
well mounting wasnt like a said i used a piece of mdf at the back and it sets back in the headliner some so it will keep it braced then the screw holds it to the mdf through the head liner. and the front is the oem screw but i had to put a anchor in cause the screw clip thing insnt there and its a little square slot.
not a clue but you could do anything expoxy a plate of steel up over the hole and drill it. anchor. bend a piece sheet metal up so it will stay in the slot and not move drill it etc,,,,
actually easiest would be to take a flat stock screw it to the beam over the hole just a little longer like a cap and put the headliner bolt in the center
also gives you a ground spot
