Plastic center console latch button snapped a plastic axle when the center console was opened normally in 30-degree-F temperatures. Center console lid is now permanently sprung open. Dealer cannot obtain just the button, entire center console lid assembly must be ordered from Honda at a cost of $150 for the part. I am currently working on either 3D printing, salvage-yard-obtaining, or concocting some other replacement for the lid latch. |
