Hi, does anyone know if Acura sells a replacement latch for the center console? The plastic latch on mine broke the other day and I've search around including eBay and can't find the OEM part number or a replacement latch for a 2007 Acura RL. Here's some pics of the broken latch.

 

Do you see it on the parts diagram below?
From the pictures I can't determine in what area to look?

 

Thanks for sending the diagram. The challenge is trying to find the correct latch assembly part on the diagram. It may be part #50 or maybe #46. The center console part number is 83405-SJA-043ZG. I am asking some Acura part suppliers online if they know the part number for the latch assembly. I may need to go to an Acura dealer parts dept to see if they can research it.

 

Yeah, my best guess is #'s 46 & 50 tie to the yellow arrows below as left & right pieces.

The 'broken' latch (your first & second picture above) is possibly an inclusive 'middle' component of one of those 'tray' assemblies indicated by the red arrows above & below??

Good Luck!

 

Hi, this is great information! thank you for sharing! The part that's broken is the latch with the red arrow. It's hard to see on the diagram, but maybe #47?

 

Well, the closest internet search image I could find for #47 ties to the below.
Can't tell if that is close to your third picture above of the latch? I'm leaning toward . Though, not sure.


Besides, even if it was, this particular OEM part vendor has it as discontinued.

From looking at your supplied pictures, one can clearly see how the yellow arrow attachment points, on the broken latch, correspond with attachment points within the armrest assembly below, surrounding the center (purple arrow) round area encircling the spring?



If you or the dealer cannot isolate & confirm that the 'latch' in question, is in fact sold individually, your less expensive plan 'B' may involve purchasing the used $120.10 RL console on the link below. Then carefully disassemble it to transfer any or all needed parts to make one complete acceptable unit?

Or, go all-in and order a new OEM center armrest for $1G from the dealer.
