Hey Guys,

I'm new to GMT400 but have been a long time member on Fullsizechevy.com and GMfullsize.com (CamaroGuy87132)

I saw that there was a slight need for Center Console Latches for OBS Trucks. I've had at least 40 of these trucks, mostly bought them to fix them up and sell them. Almost every single one that I have bought has had a missing or broken center console latch. I decided that there was a need for them and wanted to make them more durable than factory. I had them made of a thicker plastic but still able to retain the same shape and size so the fitment would be correct.

I've seen used ones going for $20+ on eBay and wanted to make this upgraded latch more affordable for people so they are priced at $14.95 free shipping.

If you have any questions about them either message me on here or on eBay.

Below is the link for the eBay listing where you can check out the item and purchase if you are interested.

Thank you!

Ha! Just found this thread but I did buy one of those latches a couple months back. Works great!

Unfortunately four years later... One of mine broke. Not really upset considering the price when I bought it. Now that eBay listing is about $25 though so I doubt I'll be buying another one.

Going with the factory GM part instead this time, part number 12477609. Which is kind of weird because I swear I looked these up years ago and they were discontinued. Either my Google-Fu has improved or GM brought these back from the dead.

Amazon has a GM one, surprisingly: https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-GM-1...=1&keywords=gm+12477609&qid=1600998456&sr=8-1

They also have this Dorman one: https://www.amazon.com/Dorman-924-3...QBKTSKAGTE6&psc=1&refRID=XGGA5RTTCQBKTSKAGTE6

Still seems like a lot of money for a tiny piece of plastic.

Just FYI GM Parts Direct has the GM console latches for just under $20, but the $15 shipping kind of kills it. I actually have a few other things that I need though so I'm ordering from there.
