Howdy all,
I recently did the pgamboa console swap with a 2014 console into my 2018. Upon installing the console the latch to the armrest snapped off. I’m lead to believe the spring disconnect behind the latch is broken as there is a ton of play on the remaining half of the latch (pictured). It’s locked everything I put inside away indefinitely including my house keys (just a spare thankfully!) and my only working phone charger outlet. I have no idea what to do as I’ve come at this stupid latch every way imaginable with pliers, pin punches, and screwdrivers. I’ve decided to dremel off the remaining latch hoping it will break the lock. Any advice here? Would it be possible to split the “shell” of the latch (bottom plastic part) apart and take the clips with it? Or is it time to pay the dealership a visit and have them rescue it. I already have a new latch in hand so this one is OK to destroy.
