    Hey guys,

    Ok so I was leaning over into the back seat of my car and I leaned on the console in the middle and snapped one of the pivot arms (?).

    Any ideas on how much this will cost to replace? I'm assuming the whole console lid is to be replaced.

    Thanks in advance.

    pivot arms?

    can you describe this in a little more detail.... is it a part on the center console between the the front seats (like near the gear stick or hand brake), or is it part of the dash center console?
    Or are you talking about the hinges on the console lid itself?

    The console near the cupholder. The one which contains the cigarette lighter outlet.

    One of the little hinge arms is snapped. :(

    you've broken number 3 right?

    in which case, gently pry open number 2 and the whole lid will come out.
    then superglue the bracket back together, give it a few days, and re-install.

    Just be careful getting the lid out, as the tangs that hold the lid in, they're prone to snapping if you're heavy handed.

    Like $50 from 4blok or a random wreckers near you. These are cheap things to replace
