Center Console Button Broke Off

So, my center console lid, the button of that, broke off.

Just to verify, this is the part I want correct? http://www.partswebsite.com/mazmart/...imagecallout=2

Yes. AFAIK, you can't order the button separate.

You could have just emailed them and asked :P

I haven't bought it yet, so should I email Mazmart? Or would I have to buy the whole stupid lid?

You have the right part, I just had to do this last week actually. You are getting the locking mechanism, it takes all of about 2 minutes to install. you just take the 2 screws out of the bottom of the mechanism, and then 6 screws out of the lid and it will pop apart, replace the lock assembly and put it back together.

I was under the impression that you couldn't order just the button. Good to know!

It's not quite just the button, since that is all that broke on mine too, but it is at least just the lock assembly which is the button and the spring and the latch. I think ordering the whole cover would be problematic. Don't different trims have different stitching color?
