You may have to take the console loose - check on the Vette Essentials web site for removal instructions.

Mine goes down if I accidentally hit it when moving my arm in the console. I have to use a key or the pen I keep in the console to pry it back up. I dont know if thats what your talking about, but if it is, you dont need a new latch. Just pry it up.

It has got to come out. Chances are it is broken but you wont know until you remove the armrest. Since I can get mine out in about 3 minutes now I personally wouldn't waste my time prying it only to find out it is broken And must be removed anyway.
