Center console lid latch

[H2inMD]

The lid on this had some type of latch that holds it down. That piece broke and disappeared.

I am sure I am not the first with this problem.

It looks like you can either buy the whole console, $$$$$ or suffer.

Can anybody get a picture of what the latch looks like? I guess you'd have to open the lid up. I'm thinking of fabricating the piece.

Has anybody found a fix for this.


thanks

Pic of a 2003 console lid, cost would be $183.46 plus S&H for the complete lid.

There are a couple places on the net to buy parts from but just for reference I used this one for the pricing info.

Edit: $171.99 here https://www.hummer-parts.com/oe_parts_catalog.html

I would contact them before ordering to be sure they part in stock.

I modified mine after it broke and put a few really strong magnets in the lid as well as the box, it helped keep it shut really nice. Hinges in the lid were already busted though and the covering on the lid was coming off so finally decided to break down and buy the lid piece. They are not cheap...

Magnets worked perfectly fine though ane they kept it closed really good, never had an issue with it popping open. Stained the magnets black too, couldn't hardly even see them.
