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

Hahahaha!!!! Not Toyota's Bro... I was a Parts Manager/Counterman for 10 years with them. We never sold replacement service parts for items like that (i.e. interior latches and trim pieces, etc...)

As someone else already posted, you'd have to buy a whole entire console lid assembly, which was $280.



I used to love the looks on people's faces when they'd come in for what they thought was a small, cheap part... Only to have the life sucked out of them by the price I'd quote them... This was especially true for exterior mirrors. Toyota didn't sell replacement parts for them at all. Broke glass? Had to buy the whole thing, and Toyota sells them pre-painted only. In the late 2000's when the mirrors started getting sophisticated with heaters, turn signals, sonar, etc, they started getting VERY pricey. I remember one for a Toyota Avalon was over $2k. Shocked the shite out of me the first time I looked one up...

Anyway... That's my CSB for the day.
