This shows how to remove and reinstall the center console clip on a 2006-2011 Honda Civic. You will need: -Torx T15 screwdriver -New clip: part #83451SNA-A01ZA -8th generation Honda Civic with a broken clip
Sir, I thank you. That was the most helpful, factual, accurate and down-to-earth video I have seen in a long time. Just completely on point. I ordered the part, followed your instructions and saved myself tons of money and lots of aggravation. You are awesome.
What a great find. The latch on my 2007 Civic broke and the dealer quoted $377 to repair it (he planned to replace the entire cover assembly). I went on line and found the latch for $8.66 with free overnight delivery from Amazon. I could not have done the repair without this video. Thanks for saving me $330
John Hendrie No way! That's insanity!! They carry this latch at my dealership's part window; I'd bet yours does, too. That's some serious stealership behavior quoting to replace the entire lid.
@@thilltony3362 I have the same problem, I put the spring the wrong way and now the metal pin won't come out, you mentioned to use something thin to take it out, I am not sure what to use though. I am a newbie at this.
Thank you so much for this! I couldn't figure out why the latch wasn't closing, and it was the spring issue being wrong! It has been a year of trying to figure that out, and your video saved me!
I'm not kidding when I tell you I just went 2 years with a broken console because the stupid dealership said it'd cost $700 to fix. Appreciate you man thank you
Yeah, I had to watch four or five videos to finally figure out where the spring had to be loaded at put it in and out about five times… Took less than a minute to put it back together. Once I figured out you have to have it in the flat position to put the spring on that shelf. Thank you for the good video.
Me too! Thank You. I looked at other videos, they didn’t show the trick about the spring. I wasn’t smart enough to figure that out, so once I finished, there was no spring pressure. Great Job! I sold cars for 36 years, but never worked on them. Honda wants to sell you the entire armrest, like someone said, about $300.
THANK YOU!!!!!!! I took off the latch to replace it and the bar that holds the spring fell into the “black hole” located between the seats. Finally found a place online to order it and fixed it today using your video💯
Ditto all these comments. Even more than the expense, this video saved me a lot of time I would have spent figuring out how the mechanism worked and how to disassemble it. Incredibly easy. Thank you!
Thanks mate! Mine snapped yesterday, I ordered one with Prime for $7 and got it today. Scared the crap out of me how springy the new one was. Almost took my finger off. But now it latches like moss on a Mississippi tree stump.
I bought my replacement latch for $2.57 on eBay, but it took about a month to arrive from China. thanks for the instructions, especially about how to position the spring.
Man, cannot thank you enough for your selfless effort to show all this, I thought I was going to have to pay the shop 100+ dollars (as they said). Word to the wise: do NOT lean over against this console door sideways with any real pressure, it will crack the little pin bracket/s right off, which is what I did. The thing should be designed better, but of course plastic is king. Anyway, you made it real easy, and cheap! You deserve a six-pack...
Thank you so much. My Honda dealership was trying to charge me 25 bucks for the part but found a USA seller on eBay that shipped it in less than 4 days for 5 bucks
Question, do you have a video replacing the center AC vent? The one to the right of the steering wheel. BTW, Honda will not sell you the latch, they will only sell you the armrest.
Thank you for your great video. It worked! The other video on this topic played music in the background and I could not hear a word! Thanks for taking the time to create the video. You can find anything on You Tube!
Just what I needed! Thank you for posting this! My husband was driving around with his console taped closed for I-don't-know-how long til I found out and found this.
Perfect! I can’t imagine how much I saved doing this myself! $5 on eBay and it came in like 2 days. Thank you for making a good video showing how to do this.
Thanks man, I had an issue with the orientation of the spring but this video solved it. Mine is much tighter than yours though it took forever to remove the pin.
Thank you so much, your video was super helpful. It came apart easily as well as easily replacing the latch. I am so proud of myself. I did get the latch from a Honda dealer as to order on ebay was going to take to long to receive.
BobPaul it's much appreciated. I only wish I had the same issue. The hinge on my is broken. Facing the hinge, the right loop is broken so I can't house the rod without it falling out. You won't believe how much the armrest cover is after-market.
stevo215 oh, that sucks. Is it just cracked it is there plastic missing from the loop? If it's just cracked you might be able to repair it with JBWeld or similar. Actually, if there's plastic missing you might still be able to JBWeld a metal washer of the right size to the inside edge of the broken standoff.
Yeah, it cracked and the front half of the loop broke off. I think I put too much force on it and after a while, the stress broke the plastic. That metal washer idea isn't a bad idea. I considered soldering the plastic but it would like just break again. Thanks for the tip.
Thank you so much! It was installed wrong on my "new" car and they had been using duct tape to keep it down. All l had to do was to put the pin and spring in correctly!
Make sure you open it up and check if it actually the latch on yours. I bought the latch and found that the plastic piece that the pin goes into snapped.
Thank you so much! This is exactly what I needed :) I've superglued all the pieces back together but couldn't figure out the orientation, basically all of my parts had cracked because my ex smashed the lid down so hard and it's been like that for like 5 years lol FINALLY FIXED!
So grateful for this video!! Trying to fix the middle console and attach the entire top because it was broken when I purchased the vehicle. Do you have any videos on that too? Thanks again for posting the video
I’m happy for everyone’s success. Sucks that my pin won’t fit in one of the latch holes of the new latch. I have to use a drill to make the hole a little bigger.. hopefully if I have time tonight… 😢
Thanks so much I was able to do it my self for about $14 and that's only because I didn't own a TORX T15 screwdriver. It would have been about $7 or $8 otherwise.
I just got a similar cut in my thumb like yours while trying to take the spring,hope could fix it later ,pending project , the spring was the hard part for me
Just wanna say thank you. Honda wanted to charge me almost 300 dollars to replace that center console piece. I appreciate you.
Same experience with me...
Now that is highway robbery
Sir, I thank you. That was the most helpful, factual, accurate and down-to-earth video I have seen in a long time. Just completely on point. I ordered the part, followed your instructions and saved myself tons of money and lots of aggravation. You are awesome.
Came here after seeing the video with loud music, was expecting a good music here too but got dejected.......lol thanks for the quick helpful video.
That dude failed w/the music I gave it a DISLIKE smh
Lmao me too

Hey mate
Do you still have the link of the page where you bought it? Can't find it
@@barauna0193 I got one on eBay it's called an armrest lock or latch. Mine is a 2007.
Thank you! I was fighting that spring and you were like “DONT do this”
I was doing that. Much appreciated.
Glad I could help! I kept making that mistake, too!
What happens if you did put it in with the spring the wrong way? I can't get the part out now.
Cameron Frank what the f*** ??? This happen to me as well How did you fix ???
@@cameronfrank2332 Use something thin and tap out the pin and start over, but you probably figured that out a long time ago.
@@thilltony3362 I have the same problem, I put the spring the wrong way and now the metal pin won't come out, you mentioned to use something thin to take it out, I am not sure what to use though. I am a newbie at this.
Finally a car guy who kept his instructions under 5 minutes!

The fact I’ve been driving with this thing up for 2 years and I could have watched this short video makes me upset lol. Thanks for the upload!!
3 hours struggling to fix it went to dealership asking 45 $ went to your channel and wooow fixed for free thank you soo soo much

2023 bro THANK YOU! My girls car latch just broke. Will replace today thanks to you.
Watched couple other videos on this subject. They didn't explain like u did with the spring. U made me a hero dad for the day. Thanks
THANK YOU!!!!!!! I took off
the latch to replace it and the bar that holds the spring fell into the “black hole” located between the seats. Finally found a place online to order it and fixed it today using your video💯
Ditto all these comments. Even more than the expense, this video saved me a lot of time I would have spent figuring out how the mechanism worked and how to disassemble it. Incredibly easy. Thank you!
Thanks for the video. I ordered the part on eBay and it took about 15 minutes to replace. Very easy.
Much better then another video that had music in the background. Super useful and spot on. Thank you for posting

Thanks to you, sir - This replacement routine was a 10 minute diy job. Salute!
Thanks for pointing out the spring tab placement. Saved me buying a new latch or spring after going back and fixing it. Works great now.
That’s the best video to explain it. Putting back the spring is a little tricky. Thanks 🎉
Thank you so much. My Honda dealership was trying to charge me 25 bucks for the part but found a USA seller on eBay that shipped it in less than 4 days for 5 bucks
Thank you for showing us how to do it correctly. You pointed out all the important little tricks to get the job done quickly. Thanks again!
Great video. Thank you for listing the part number and the size of the bit needed. Unfortunately Honda now charges $15 for that little plastic part.
i got it on ebay for 4.53 just last week
thanks for the upload. there is one other video for this issue but the guy has music playing, and i can't hear him talk.
I’m surprised ur evn on a Honda video with that photo I’d think FORD F 250
MURICUHHHH FCK YEEAAAA
Question, do you have a video replacing the center AC vent? The one to the right of the steering wheel. BTW, Honda will not sell you the latch, they will only sell you the armrest.
Nice informative video, thx for not having any distracting background music!!!
Thank you!! Easy to follow instructions. Installed the latch in minutes.
Thank you for your great video. It worked! The other video on this topic played music in the background and I could not hear a word! Thanks for taking the time to create the video. You can find anything on You Tube!
David Burnett I saw that one too I was like didn’t this guy watch his video it’s insane lol what was he thinking
You are awesome man. I spend the entire morning missing with the spring.
Excellent! Thank you so much! That's such an easy and satisfying repair. $0 from my local Pick N Pull and I'm good to go!
Just what I needed! Thank you for posting this! My husband was driving around with his console taped closed for I-don't-know-how long til I found out and found this.
I replaced mine in less than 5 minutes! I’m not handy at all when it comes to this kind of stuff, but you made it look so easy. Thanks!
thank you sm for this video you’re an amazing person they wanted to charge me 250$ to replace this smh
Thank you so much! Saved me a ton of $! Also so useful listing the material needed I was done in less than 10 minutes!
Perfect! I can’t imagine how much I saved doing this myself! $5 on eBay and it came in like 2 days. Thank you for making a good video showing how to do this.

I wish I had found this video and hour ago.
Thank you. You saved my sanity.
Simple and self explanatory video!
Thanks for sharing
Mine just broke yesterday. Thank you for the upload. Much appreciated.
Lol! Glad it helped. Tell you the truth, I uploaded this so that I won't make the same stupid mistakes when I have to do this a third time =D

Thank you very much. I kept installing it with the spring lever below, not above the shelf. Was driving me nuts!
Thank you so much! It was installed wrong on my "new" car and they had been using duct tape to keep it down. All l had to do was to put the pin and spring in correctly!
I can tell this is exactly the information I need. Thank you so much for making and posting this video.
Hey man, just wanted to say thanks for the video! It was extremely helpful!
Ur wlcm muffin butt
Make sure you open it up and check if it actually the latch on yours. I bought the latch and found that the plastic piece that the pin goes into snapped.
Thank you for your help!! I'm so proud that I got this by myself with your video.😊

Thanks for this video. Perfect instructions for a 2010 Honda Civic! You saved me lots of time and money doing it myself.
This was the perfect video! Unfortunately for me, my latch assembly was fine but one of the loops that holds the pin in place broke on the lid...
I knew I should have watched your video first. I goofed up on the spring part.
