Anyone have a spare "Console Compartment" (Part Number: 588250C021) or see one out in the yards....

In trying to hack it to fit some additions to the truck (led light control and flush mount usb/aux), I cut it the wrong way and now it does not snap in any more. If anyone sees this part at an auto-salvage, I will pay you for what it cost and for shipping. Some are asking for $45 and the dealers for $60+, but maybe can be obtained for closer to $20... What can I say, I'm being frugal.

It's worth a shot - in case anyone already has a spare, let know. Thanks!

Here is how mine looks - it's hideous b/c I have to cover the gap on the right with tape. My first mistake was the location of the usb flush mount. I will not place it in the center again (there is a vent behind it) - that is why it is pushed out and not flush.

 

Does it not fit because the usb is pushing it out? I made the same error cutting mine at first but I just got a black plastic round piece and gorilla glued it over the mistake hole and drilled another closer to the side. that cost me 0.25, but i feel your pain.

 

Ha! Brings me some consolation to know I’m not alone. I think the usb is pushed out enough using some spacers but the right side does not snap in or lock any more if that makes sense - so did a bracket break - actually not sure. I tried a long time. I can make it go in all the way but does not lock. Yes there is some push back from some thin cables comes out through the top but I created notches for them (out of view for the most part unless your viewpoint is eye level to it). But when perfectly aligned and flush it is not grabbing on to anything. I thought what the heck if I mess it up I’ll order it from the dealer as I’ve ordered some small parts to complete the interior. But I can’t bring myself to pay that much. I checked with our largest yard here that has inventory posted and they don’t have a tundra in stock that has this part.

 

not my money but I’d fork out the $60 plus shipping and move on to another project….lifes too short to squabble with yourself over 2 to 3 Hamiltons

 

I'd say frugal plastic welds, sands and then paints that. Low cost, low effort (compared to scrap yard retrieval, shipping, payment) and it's fixed tomorrow.

 

Well Bubba. Life’s is too short all right... say are you the same cat that chided us for not being willing to blow the $800 on a stealth box subwoofer? Can I come to your parties? . I kid - I kid.

 

doesn't ring a bell considering I don't know what a "stealth box" is
If/When I ever have a party, you're more than Welcome to come
