There is no need for a long introduction. Installation of this part went smoothly and it works perfectly. New clips are a little tighter than OEM clips, but that may simply be due to their brand new status. Moreover, it makes a secure connection so I can take the console up with confidence and not worry that all the contents inside will leak Also, the original finish is smooth and the original had a slight texture, but this does not interfere with the operation of the device.

A slow person would have five minutes to go from start to finish.
In the event that there might be some extra play in the latch before fully tightening the mounting screws, I manipulated it first, but that did not make a As a result, the latch still serves its purpose and keeps the lid shut. The latch feels very rigid as it releases from the catch and barely moves as we pull down on it to open the lid.

He was not given instructions and was not allowed to YouTube it after I took his phone. In just 10 minutes, I had it done. If you search YouTube for great videos, you will find many, but they are generally straightforward and simple to use, so there's no big deal.
In my 2013 silverado, I used a Velco to fix the center console which would not close. However, the Velco was loose and kept opening. In looking into stronger velcro, I discovered the replacement latch is actually easy to install and cheap, and so I just went this route Then, I added a few screws and it was as good as This new one makes me happy, but I will see how long it lasts.

Once it's off, pop it back on. Your old handle will be visible as well as the screws that hold it. Replacing the old one with the new one. Once again, you are able to latch things. This process might take a few minutes. It's an easy fix and the cost is much less than purchasing a new armrest from your dealer since they don't sell these parts.
Simply unscrew the 4 T20 torx screws from the bottom of the armrest, remove the panel by tugging lightly, and replace the latch with a new one using the existing star screws. I'm very pleased with the result! I tend to use latch as a fidget when I'm stuck in traffic, so I'll buy another just in case it breaks again.
