Broken console lid hinge-simple fix

Recommended Posts

Got a cordless drill? Take your lid and broken hinge,put them together and run a wood screw approx one and a half inches long thru both from the rear of the lid. I've done this to several cars and it works great. Unless your looking for perfection,this should suffice. :cool:

It should work good too, but you're at the mercy of those threads holding onto the thin plastic. I have tried that method and it wasn't as strong as the way I do it now.

I like the stealth-look though. I did one more repair on another lid using screws with domed heads (the writeup I did I just used screws I had laying around) and used shrink wrap to hide the visible parts of them. I even thought about filling up the void entirely with liquid resin once the screws were in place, but that may be excessive :lol:
