Do you mean the latch on the lid broke, or do you mean part of the actual console broke?

Someone asked the same question a while back. I believe that someone said that Mid America sold the latch and spring as a kit. You might search the archives for the thread. Try this link.

Hummm....If it is the console, I don't think you can just fix that. I don't think the top part of the console seperates from the bottom. You might need to get a new console. I you still have the piece of plastic that broke you might be able to find some really good glue and connect if back.
