Just wanna say thank you. Honda wanted to charge me almost 300 dollars to replace that center console piece. I appreciate you.

Sir, I thank you. That was the most helpful, factual, accurate and down-to-earth video I have seen in a long time. Just completely on point. I ordered the part, followed your instructions and saved myself tons of money and lots of aggravation. You are awesome.

Thank you so much for this! I couldn't figure out why the latch wasn't closing, and it was the spring issue being wrong! It has been a year of trying to figure that out, and your video saved me!

Came here after seeing the video with loud music, was expecting a good music here too but got dejected.......lol thanks for the quick helpful video.

Thank you for showing us how to do it correctly. You pointed out all the important little tricks to get the job done quickly. Thanks again!

Just what I needed! Thank you for posting this! My husband was driving around with his console taped closed for I-don't-know-how long til I found out and found this.

3 hours struggling to fix it went to dealership asking 45 $ went to your channel and wooow fixed for free thank you soo soo much

Thanks to you, sir - This replacement routine was a 10 minute diy job. Salute!

Finally a car guy who kept his instructions under 5 minutes!

Much better then another video that had music in the background. Super useful and spot on. Thank you for posting

Thanks for pointing out the spring tab placement. Saved me buying a new latch or spring after going back and fixing it. Works great now.

Thank you! I was fighting that spring and you were like “DONT do this” I was doing that. Much appreciated.

Thanks for this video. Perfect instructions for a 2010 Honda Civic! You saved me lots of time and money doing it myself.

THANK YOU!!!!!!! I took off the latch to replace it and the bar that holds the spring fell into the “black hole” located between the seats. Finally found a place online to order it and fixed it today using your video💯

What a great find. The latch on my 2007 Civic broke and the dealer quoted $377 to repair it (he planned to replace the entire cover assembly). I went on line and found the latch for $8.66 with free overnight delivery from Amazon. I could not have done the repair without this video. Thanks for saving me $330

You are awesome man. I spend the entire morning missing with the spring.

Thank you so much, your video was super helpful. It came apart easily as well as easily replacing the latch. I am so proud of myself. I did get the latch from a Honda dealer as to order on ebay was going to take to long to receive.

Excellent video... super straight forward and to the point! My latch works perfect now thanks to you

I can tell this is exactly the information I need. Thank you so much for making and posting this video.

Yeah, I had to watch four or five videos to finally figure out where the spring had to be loaded at put it in and out about five times… Took less than a minute to put it back together. Once I figured out you have to have it in the flat position to put the spring on that shelf. Thank you for the good video.

Thank you so much! Saved me a ton of $! Also so useful listing the material needed I was done in less than 10 minutes!

The fact I’ve been driving with this thing up for 2 years and I could have watched this short video makes me upset lol. Thanks for the upload!!

Thanks mate! Mine snapped yesterday, I ordered one with Prime for $7 and got it today. Scared the crap out of me how springy the new one was. Almost took my finger off. But now it latches like moss on a Mississippi tree stump.

Watched couple other videos on this subject. They didn't explain like u did with the spring. U made me a hero dad for the day. Thanks

Thank you for your great video. It worked! The other video on this topic played music in the background and I could not hear a word! Thanks for taking the time to create the video. You can find anything on You Tube!

Excellent! Thank you so much! That's such an easy and satisfying repair. $0 from my local Pick N Pull and I'm good to go!

I'm not kidding when I tell you I just went 2 years with a broken console because the stupid dealership said it'd cost $700 to fix. Appreciate you man thank you

Just wanted to say thank you! I was having trouble putting it back on.

Perfect! I can’t imagine how much I saved doing this myself! $5 on eBay and it came in like 2 days. Thank you for making a good video showing how to do this.

Man, cannot thank you enough for your selfless effort to show all this, I thought I was going to have to pay the shop 100+ dollars (as they said). Word to the wise: do NOT lean over against this console door sideways with any real pressure, it will crack the little pin bracket/s right off, which is what I did. The thing should be designed better, but of course plastic is king. Anyway, you made it real easy, and cheap! You deserve a six-pack...

Me too! Thank You. I looked at other videos, they didn’t show the trick about the spring. I wasn’t smart enough to figure that out, so once I finished, there was no spring pressure. Great Job! I sold cars for 36 years, but never worked on them. Honda wants to sell you the entire armrest, like someone said, about $300.

Thanks so much. You made it clear and included all the important details. Great job!

Thanks soo much, just fixed my armrest. It's been bothering me for a month!!!

That’s the best video to explain it. Putting back the spring is a little tricky. Thanks 🎉

Nice informative video, thx for not having any distracting background music!!!

Dude... I subscribed to your channel cos your video helped me to fix it up quickly. Otherwise it is like a puzzle to most ppl!

Hey man, just wanted to say thanks for the video! It was extremely helpful!

thanks for the upload. there is one other video for this issue but the guy has music playing, and i can't hear him talk.

I bought my replacement latch for $2.57 on eBay, but it took about a month to arrive from China. thanks for the instructions, especially about how to position the spring.

Thank you for your help!! I'm so proud that I got this by myself with your video.😊

thank you sm for this video you’re an amazing person they wanted to charge me 250$ to replace this smh

Perfect! Easy to follow. I was putting it in in the wrong position.

Thank you man this video was perfect helping me out just what I needed !

Thanks for the video. I ordered the part on eBay and it took about 15 minutes to replace. Very easy.

Just wanted to say thank you sir! Your video helped me out a ton.

Thank you so much. My Honda dealership was trying to charge me 25 bucks for the part but found a USA seller on eBay that shipped it in less than 4 days for 5 bucks

Ditto all these comments. Even more than the expense, this video saved me a lot of time I would have spent figuring out how the mechanism worked and how to disassemble it. Incredibly easy. Thank you!

Great video. Thank you for listing the part number and the size of the bit needed. Unfortunately Honda now charges $15 for that little plastic part.

Thank you for the tutorial. It’s worked great 👍✅

Worked on my 07 si. Thanks for the help man!

Thank You Sir! the only othwr video i could find on how to install this lil thing was some dude playing elevator music louder than his instructions

Thank you!! Easy to follow instructions. Installed the latch in minutes.

You just saved me $200!!! Thank you so much, cheers!!! 🍻

Thanks man, I had an issue with the orientation of the spring but this video solved it. Mine is much tighter than yours though it took forever to remove the pin.

This helped me a lot today! Thanks for the knowledge 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

2023 bro THANK YOU! My girls car latch just broke. Will replace today thanks to you.

So grateful for this video!! Trying to fix the middle console and attach the entire top because it was broken when I purchased the vehicle. Do you have any videos on that too? Thanks again for posting the video

Thank you very much. I kept installing it with the spring lever below, not above the shelf. Was driving me nuts!

Simple and self explanatory video! Thanks for sharing

I knew I should have watched your video first. I goofed up on the spring part.

Mine just broke yesterday. Thank you for the upload. Much appreciated.

Thank you for your video. I can save lots of money

Awesome thanks for the video. Helped me out a ton 2 min job on my 09 civic si

Thank you so much! You have helped so many of us!!

I wish I had found this video and hour ago. Thank you. You saved my sanity.

Thank you!!! This was perfect! You saved me money and time! You're the best!!!

Make sure you open it up and check if it actually the latch on yours. I bought the latch and found that the plastic piece that the pin goes into snapped.

Thank you, worked like a charm! Much appreciated!

Thank you so much for this! I replaced my sister's armrest clip thanks to you!

I cannot thank you enough for this vid. This saves me!! Thank you!! ☺️☺️☺️

Thanks for the detailed explanation and tips.

Thanks for this straight forward explanation!! God Bless 🙏🏼

Thank you so much . I really needed to see this

Thank you so much! It was installed wrong on my "new" car and they had been using duct tape to keep it down. All l had to do was to put the pin and spring in correctly!

I just got a similar cut in my thumb like yours while trying to take the spring,hope could fix it later ,pending project , the spring was the hard part for me

Totally exactly what I needed to know , thank you

Thank You BobPaul for you great video and Info !

Worked for me! Such a great explanation!!

Saved me tons of money and time! Thanks heaps!

This was the perfect video! Unfortunately for me, my latch assembly was fine but one of the loops that holds the pin in place broke on the lid...

Thanks, very helpful. Fixed!!

I replaced mine in less than 5 minutes! I’m not handy at all when it comes to this kind of stuff, but you made it look so easy. Thanks!

God bless this man and his family. lol. Thanks!

Thanks this video helped me fix my center console for $6 👍🏽

The best vídeo, thanks!! São Paulo- Brazil

Great instructions, thank you for posting.

Excellent video Bro.. Point on and very much appreciated.

Thanks, very helpful, in the honda dealer is 20 $ , I just replaced mine, Thanks for the video 👍🏼👍🏼

Thank you, finally fixed it.

Explained beautifully 👌

Question. ..was your latch broken or was it the hinge? From looking at my hinge or latch it seems fine, so could it be the spring in the latch...though, of course, that wasn't the case for you. Just questioning ig it could be the spring which goes in the latch? Thanks for this video because it helps us save money and time. And learn to fix what we can.

Most helpful video... Thanks

Thanks! Worked great for me.

Finished! Nice and easy, thanks!
