when i bought my ranger the center console lid was screwed down, so i opened it up and discovered that the latch is broken off and it was ghetto rigged to stay down. Went to a parts junk yard and they had several Rangers there around my year, and all the latches were broken off the consoles, so it must be a common problem. Anyone have an easy fix for this? or anyone have the console lid they want to sell? upholstery color doesn't matter, i can use the one already on it.

Yeah, I have a bungie cord around mine right now, looking for a good fix. Where did you buy your latches?

And Thanks for that forum discussion Graff. Great help!
