Console lid foam

impala454 · February 6, 2015

My 2006 Silverado has a console that's still in great shape, except for the foam piece which keeps the loose change in place and keeps the lid from rattling. This foam has completely crumbled away and now the lid rattles like crazy. I see a replacement lid can be purchased for about $70, but really all I need is the foam piece. Does anyone know where I can get this or if it's even possible? Here's a photo from the Dorman products web page:

I wonder if my old one has it still as I'm going to buy a whole new lid as its broken.

You could buy foam from any auto upholsterer or craft shop and cut it to fit

I replaced my lid a few months ago with the same replacement. I've not seen the foam sold separately but it shouldn't be too bad to replace with any type of upholstry foam like Chris said...

I would gladly send you mine.... but uh... I got pissed and threw it out the window one night.... long story.

Thanks for the replies. I actually contacted the manufacturer and they said they don't offer that part separately. Oh well. I appreciate the thoughts of sending me yours but I believe it's permanently glued on (which is why there's little crumblies all over my console now).

I figured plan B was to just go get some foam at the craft store and cut it. Will just run with that. Thanks.

Just as a final thought for anyone else viewing this thread, it was pretty easy to just grab a $2.00 12"x12"x1" foam piece at hobby lobby for this. All they had was white, but I didn't really care just as long as that rattling stopped. I know you can find it in gray or black online but didn't care to pay or wait for shipping. Here's a photo. Not the cleanest cut but it's all good.
