2002 center console lid

Went to the dealer today to get a new lid and latch for them to tell me they dont carry them anymore. go to junkyards or Ebay.

Any ideas?

I'll fan something up if need be but striking out on google finding any. All I can find are lids from 98 to 2000. Will those work bc they look different in the front?

Thanks for any suggestions as I'm getting tired of the cracked broken lid I have.

 

No. 1995-2000 consoles are different.

 

Cracked / broken as in 2 pieces?
Probably need a new one. From a salvage yard.

These can be recovered with durable material
Look up “hot rod upholstery” and then you can get a latch from ebay that makes the whole thing secure. And while you are at the rebuild, hardware stores have the little rubber inserts to further sturdy it up.

 

post a pic of what your looking for. see if I have what you need.

 

I have the same issue on my 2003. The middle is cracked where you lean your arm.

 

The guy on here that does nice upholstery is always making sweet center padded console tops for the 3rd genners to have red TRD logos etc. He would prob make the nicest matching cover you could find and not too expensive.

 

Do you have a link to thread, or his name? I haven't seen that.

Thanks

 

Too late if the cover is already cracked, but for those with ones just weak in the middle, you can add a piece of sheet metal and it will reinforce that quite nicely.

 

This guy. I was thinking to get the center console and shift boot done in matching oak someday. Really nice work.

Found this. The other guy needs a good one to work with, mine needs to be replaced first.

Anyone see anything glaring wrong with this? Otherwise for $20 bucks it seems likes a good solution.

 

Is this just a cover?

 

good catch, they only supply the leather, still doesn't fix the issue. I've found a 2000, but I think its different than the 2003

 

It's hard to find good ones, I searched a while too. Maybe have to get a junkyard one and re-cover if feeling worthy.

 

I think I'll keep an eye out and do my best to find one, so far I've only found full center consoles for about $400.

Mine has 3 evenly spaced cracks. Going from the latch all the way to the back. Latch is broken off too. Its junk. I'll get picks the next time I'm in it. I'd deff be down for something fabbed up to work. I was thinking of bolting an ammo can in the spot with a lid or homemaking a lid but it would be a total experiment since I've never done upholstery work.

 

I would probably consider a wooden one. Very easy to upholster using a layer of foam rubber and vinyl.
