98 ranger armrest

[sgull]

You know the fold-down padded armrest (with the storage box and hinged lid) between the seats? Well, the plastic clip or latch part whatever you call it which is built into the lid is broken and loose so it won't catch and latch into the box. I'm having a hard time trying to track down the exact part(s) I need to get this issue fixed up. The dealers seem to want to sell only the entire "console" they call it and apparently can't just replace the latch or the lid. Of course through the dealer this console is way too expensive, and besides I would just like to be able to replace the latch or lid if possible. What exactly is this part called I'm looking for, and how would I inquire if were to ask for it from a junkyard? any advice/comments welcome
