3D model description

They say necessity is the mother of invention (or re-creation?) and that is exactly why I made this. The arm rest in my 1996 Ford Ranger had a broken latch so the spring loaded center console was always open by default.

This is a second revision due to the original one I made bending with the summer heat, printed in PLA. I added some ribs to add a backbone and some added strength. The ribs were a little tall so I shaved it down with a razorblade to get a nice tight fit when closed. You may or may not need to do the same to ensure proper fitment.

I did not find it necessary to use glue of any sort, just disassemble your armrest cover (the screws are hidden below the fabric on the inside) and slip this into the existing hole.

As always, if you make one, all I ask is that you please share a photo or at least comment on how it worked for you!
