Default Need some help with plastic bits...

Just got home with my new (to me) '05 vert. A wonderful 4 hour drive. What a blast to drive (although I had to take it very easy as no insurance, plate or inspection yet). Anyway, two things I noticed need attention. First, the latch on the center console doesn't latch at all. It looks like the bottom of the latch has been broken off. Secondly, the cover on the vanity mirror on the driver's side has a broken hinge, so it sort of flops around. Any help with a good source for replacement parts (other than a Chevy dealer) would be greatly appreciated. Now I'm off to read the owner's manual. Thanks for your help.

Bill

If you're into DIY tinkering this might interest you for the console:

Thanks very much; the repair to the latch seems pretty straight forward. As to the sunvisor, I was hoping to find just the mirror cover, not replace the entire visor (which has the homelink buttons).
