New to the forum...I've looked around on the internet, and even through these forums with no luck, sorry if I missed it

A few weeks ago my center console latch broke and now I can't latch the lid. I have an 09 Silverado with the jump seat. It's the latch on the console you raise up for the 3rd seat, not the lower console latch.

Does anyone know if there is a part number for this? The dealer told me I would have to buy the whole lid to just to replace the latch, over $170 (which I might add is only a piece of plastic with 2 screws). The words I used to express my disappointment is nothing I care to post on any forum

It's number 7 on the attached photo. The site I got this off of had EVERY part listed except for that one. If I don't find a replacement soon I'll be "Red Neckin'" it so it will latch. It may not look pretty but I will get it to latch

Any help would be appreiciated

Welcome to the forum. I did a search on gmpartsdirect.com and found the latch you are looking for, but you have to put in your info for a price. Hope this helps. I can't imagine that it should be any more than a few dollars. It is under the seats section.

Try this it takes you to the web page then you just add your info

Thanks to both of you for the responses. After a couple of days of communication, this was the final word:

"The latch is not sold seperately. It is only sold with the lid."

Guess I'm red-neckin' it unless I can find someone who sells the part. I still have a hard time believing you can't order that part

we should have a sticky topic of websites all gm owners should have in their favorites.

Check with a local junk yard. They all should be the same from 07 til 09
