center console button

Does anyone know how to fix the studs where the center console button attaches? One of mine is broken and the center console lid won't stay latched.

Kelly,
I can't quite make it out from the pic. I have a 67 Charger and I'm not sure what is broken there, everything is attached with screws is it not. Can you get a better/different pic?

Hope this helps. The stud on the left side is broken off.

You should be able to tack another on on, or just get a butterfly bolt and a short piece of all thread with some thread locker. Depending on how you want to do it. I will look at mine when I get home and see how they are attached for sure and I may be able to give you a better option.

Pot metal lid will be very difficult to impossible to fix. What is the application for your lid? I may have one, but other than that, a hole drilled from the top, and covered with new woodgrain decals could fix yours.

Remove the 2 square metal washers and take off the aluminum top plate. Be careful not to break the studs. now you can drill through and counter sink for a flat head screw. Bolt the latch pc back on then reattach the aluminum top plate. Good to go .

@ bbad67
Thanks for the info. I was able to get the top plate off without breaking the studs. Next is to drill out and counter sink some screw holes and reassemble.
