Morning everyone!

I have a 2007 Tacoma and the other day my console lid latch broke and I am needing to find a new latch.

The latch must have something on the back that clips into the console lid and I believe that it has either just worn down or broken off. I opened the lid to get my pistol out and the latch and spring just shot out. I found the spring finally and was able to put it back in but I just have to remember to keep a finger on it until I close the lid.

Trying to find a latch online somewhere. Anyone here own a Tacoma and have dealt with this before?

What's the deal with all of the pens?

You have a lot of pens and a lot CDs. Try the dealership parts desk. They'll hook you up and since its small then you'll be out for less than a 20 spot.

Mine did the exact same thing a few years ago. It's some cheap plastic in the latch that makes it pop out. You don't need to order the Toyota part for the fix, which would cost a lot more than doing it yourself. Took me about 10 minutes to do mine. It's still holding up fine. Seems a lot of people have had this problem.
