Console Cover Lid

just so we are clear. If you are talking about the wooden drink holder covers that do not stay latched, I have the latch for those. They are about 14$ shipped. I am out of the parts that repair the lid when one of the hinges breaks and the lid does not open and shut smoothly but drops on one corner.

Also interested in these. Still in stock? Would you be able to post a picture of both? Much appreciated. Thanks.
 
I don't know how many XLRs are out there that have a broken console lid. Mine was broken from the get go and I fixed it to keep shut using some velcro strips. The only problem was I got tired of hearing a rrrrip everytime I opened the console. Last week I bought a set of various sized magnets. I used 3 pair of these magnets cemented to the bottom lip and top lip of the console and lid and am happy with the results. Stays shut over road bumps, opens and closes easily.
What an ingenious solution! What size/type magnets? My 2008 cupholder door won't stay closed either.

The cupholder lid if still hinged on both sides just needs a latch to repair it. I have them. 20$ shipped. Fairly easy fix
The lid is still hinged but it appears the latch as you call it, closest to the rear, is what's defective. Can you reply back with a pic of what you're describing and how to purchase? Thanks!
