bought the car missing one of these things making the center console a pain to open and I fear the wife will eventually break it out of frustration (her car). does anyone know the part number or know where to score some or heck even have any lying around?

lol what?

I know, kinda a ramble.... the rubber bumper things in the center dash console, I need that part number to find replacements. without them its a pain to open and the wife will just hammer the button until it decides to open so I would rather fix this little thing than try to find a whole door AND the bumper things.

post #4 in this thread shows the part number that your looking for.

I have an '06 HHR here, we have had a tough time getting that glove box open since day one. I was going to use a short piece of 1/8” brass brazing rod and thread the ends of it then bend it into a U shape and mount it with nuts on either side of the plastic near the push button so we could open it easier, then discovered if I push straight down on the button and pull back with my fingers so they can grab the bottom edge of the hole the push button is in I can open it every time no problem.

Years ago I had a '65 ford Fairlane that had an ashtray that was nearly impossible to open without a screwdriver if it was closed and I installed a piece of brazing rod in a similar fashion to be able to open it.

Now this is JMO, but......

Almost every owner that has a problem with the center storage compartment opening, has the "recall" fix for the compartment opening during an accident. Notice the picture that is in post #4. It has the glue down overlay provided by Chevrolet for the fix. I have it also and the opening problem. I'm considering a removal......or perhaps a slight relief filing.

Mine started the hard to open thing this summer I have not looked at it to see why yet. I did not install the recall plate. I have the place just never put it in.
