Prefer not to replace the entire OEM sliver console...LOL, Yes that would be the easy fix $$$$.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Any help on how to fix it would be very much appreciated. Prefer not to replace the entire OEM sliver console...LOL, Yes that would be the easy fix $$$$.
Thanks
Thinking about fixing mine also. I kinda learned how to live with it though. Still has the nylon strap in the back. Only thing I use it for is my Garmin NAV.
I removed the console simply to get an idea of everything else attached. No need to remove it, but with it out you have a lot of room to work in a none cramped space.
Anyone have an issue with the latch not closing firmy? I have to push down firmly on my center console to get the latch to fully engage. Any info there would be helpful. (hijack completed)
To OP, I have ordered from suncoast numerous times -- their prices are low, service is great, and if there is any issue, they return it no questions asked.
Cheers,
DS
About the 2 rivets, I placed the thicker part of the rivet to bind the U-bracket and the hinge but the question is, what do i do with the longer nail-looking part? Do I have to bend so that its not in the way to of the cover (arm rest). Please advise.
The manual says "Rivet the hinge plate and the U-bracket together with the supplied pop-rivets. (Figure 3, arrows D)
After riveting, ensure there is no free-play, and that the installation is solid."
My question is what is RIVETING? Hammering it in like a nail or bend it to look like a 'L'. I dont understand.
Ask in a few more threads. You are bound to trip over the answer if you go back to a few.
