This is the style of armrest lid that I need to find a latch for

The latch appears to be square and inserts into the console for the lid to snap into. All the junk yards around me have already been robbed and I can't find a part number!.

Edit: I'm starting to wonder if such a part even exists. I have found several entire center consoles for sale and none of them have any sort of latch. But my armrest lid just won't stay closed.

 

That's the bit I have on mine too. So yours isn't the only one.

Have you tried ebay or any of the online parts warehouses?

 

I've looked everywhere. Does yours lock down with just that plastic latch on the armrest?

To elaborate, I circled what I think I'm missing. There's definitely something that goes in that square hole, which I can't find.

 

Oh nope. Its the flat bar latch after going out to look at mine, so its slightly different.

I have seen those consoles on ebay before though. I'm wondering if it might be easier just to start with a new console if its that design?

Or just keep a very close eye on the pick yards for new arrivals. I've done that before when looking for very small things like that

 

I stole that image from eBay, but it's the same design as my '99

I'll pay up to $20 if I can find the damn thing online, but I will try to keep an eye out for some new arrivals like you say. But It's already been a years worth of patience lol.

 

Is this it?

Nope I have that piece. I need the part that it latches into.
