Easy & Cheap Console Lid Repair...

[MikeyNice]

So my console lid pops open every time i hit a bump (VERY ANNOYING). I tried to glue the alignment pin back on but it broke again. So i brain stormed and this was my solution. It only cost $0.98 at home depot and takes about 2 minutes to do. I only used one piece of what i bought from the depot. Just place the piece in the center of the hole where the alignment pin was and screw it in, its that simple. Did this about a month ago and has not popped open since.

Good Fix, what size was the latch?

Not sure of the size but here is the link to the latch from home depot's website:

Double Roller Catch with Spear Strike-C08820C-STB-P1 at The Home Depot

Hope that helps.
