Broken console latch
Has anyone else had this happen? My wife pushed the button to open it and I noticed the button was crooked. I pressed it a few times and ended up having to break the plastic tabs holding the latch to get it open. Now it's stuck open...

You could try www.gmpartsdirect.com but they might be a little pricey. Otherwise you might try eBay, or a local junkyard. I don't think they are too hard to remove, but then again, I've never done it. I know I've seen one or two for sale on eBay before.

Mine broke a while back and I fixed it with super glue, there are little screws that hold in that button and if you glue the threaded plastic back together then put back said screws it works. Actually fixed it twice this way.

Tried that twice already. The first time, it worked for about 30 minutes and did the same thing again. The second time, one of the threaded plastic pieces split in two...

Could this be why there is a "recall" on the latch?
