Ok, in my 96, the spring in the center console which pushes against the button broke. Its the one that you press to open the center console. It looks like a big U shape spring. Where can I get a replacement? I'm having a hard time finding the spring.


Thanks

Thanks, I could not find it for the life of me...

I wonder if I could make it out of metal or find the spring at home depot or something...

Common steel strapping is a type of spring steel. Cut a piece to fit and shape using a minimum amount of heat. Or buy the $7 part and pay $5 more for S&H.
