Slide Console "T" Clips

My console lid always felt a little loose since I bought it from a private seller a few months ago. Well my girlfriend was messing around with the console and slid the top piece all the way forward and off and I got to examining the under side of where the sliding lid goes and found this.




It appears as if there is a "T" shaped clip missing from the passenger side of the slide lid base. The one still there rides along a channel on the underside of the lid. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement clip? The dealer wants to sell me the whole center console for $300+. Anyone else have this problem?

Maybe you could give 300 kicks in the face of your dealer but no way $300. Be creative and make something that will do the job on your own. DIY!!

the loose feeling could also be from missing the plastic runners that keep the top of the lid in it's track.

Well all 4 of the little clips that apply pressure to the track to keep it from sliding are there but I do notice near the top right of this picture



A piece of my console lid is cracked/broken but before I buy another lid can someone tell me if I am the only one missing a "T" clip on the passenger side? And does anyone know if the top leather piece can be purchased separately from the plastic side (pictured) that it screws to? It appears they can be separated by a few screws.
