PIT66 Center Console Armrest Lid with Latch Fit Ford Mustang 2005-2009

The fabric on the passenger side is slightly bunched, but otherwise it is so much nicer than the stock one that was wore out and cracking. There was one additional screw in the middle that had to be removed and discarded, but otherwise it was a clean and easy fit. Great replacement and I expect it to last. The color is slightly more matte black than gloss black, but I’m sure some leather polish will make it match the rest of the truck. Not enough of an issue to bother me! WAY nicer than the cracked and taped stock one! And can’t argue the price!

I have a 2009 Ford F150 and the spring for my center armrest lid snapped after many long years. It's hard to find an OEM part online or without going to a pick and pull so I saw a bunch of these aftermarket replacements and bought the cheapest one with good reviews. I really only wanted to replace the hinge or spring but it seems there's no where online that sells just that. This arrived quickly and as described. I initially tried to swap the entire lid and hinge for the new one, but the fit was slightly off and it wouldn't line up correctly when closing so it wouldn't latch. The lid did match the truck interior color and trim but it does feel a bit flimsy, and since my original lid was still in good shape except for the hinge (and I know the original lid latches) I ended up swapping out the old hinge with the new one and attaching the original lid. Comparing the OEM hinge to this one, this one is definitely made of softer and thinner metal so I'm not sure how long it will hold up, but for the price that is ok. The trick was that since the metal hinge was thinner than the original, the lid was not lining up correctly to latch, so thanks to an idea from youtube, I used pennies for spacers between the lid and hinge and hinge and base where it connects. Took a bit of finagling, but ended up placing 2 pennies behind where each arrow points and now the lid closes and latches perfectly. Lastly, the new lid weighs less than the OEM so the new spring tension was too low to hold the weight of the OEM lid. I was able to slide a few pennies behind one end of the spring that let me titrate the tension just perfectly so now it stays open when it's open and lines up correctly to close. Overall, well worth the money. We'll see how long it lasts.

Must admit I was skeptical of this center console lid as I had already ordered two previously from other distributors that were falsely labeled. This one not only is the hard console cover, but it’s cheaper than those cloth covers. This is almost an exact one for one replacement of the OEM part, complete with all the underside pieces that originally came with the truck. Ordered out of hope, and received it within a week. My original order, the replacement piece had a slit down the leather, which looked like someone at the warehouse took a box cutter to the top of the box and hit the leather as well, but when I reached out to the seller, they sent me a replacement immediately and did not require the first one to be shipped back. Saved me time and hassle and it’s appreciated. The ONLY downfall is that the latch is off an 1/8” probably which doesn’t allow you to just push it down to latch, but maybe I should be in the habit of using the button to help close it regardless, so it’s not even a downfall. If you landed on this part looking for a replacement center console lid, look no further…this is the one

it fits fine and looks good(outside). as far as the cons: uses wood screws instead of plastic screws which makes it look cheap(i'll reuse the oem ones), the inside is fuzzy instead of smooth, and the hinge is tighter and shinier so i'm using oem hinge. wouldnt call this an upgrade over oem.. still plastic and it's just a cushy. price for quality is good tho. finding this part is hard for a reasonable.

Fit as it should great price

Part looks great. Latch broke on the first day, wouldn’t latch either. Replaces with old latch that didn’t latch either. Finally replaced the new hinge when the old one to get the lid to latch. In short the hinge is somehow different, that prevents this lid from closing correctly. Mine is a 2008 Mustang convertible. How a convertible makes a difference, is beyond me. But I got it to work. If not for the hinge issue 5 stars.

This thing is a great value and looks really nice in an older truck. My sons truck center console lid latch broke, I was going to order a new latch from Amazon and happened to see this as a suggestion below, it was less expensive then the latch alone! Easy to install, removed the old lid, removed the locking mechanism, installed the lock in the new lid and put it back in the truck with the supplied screws. Literally took about 15 minutes and the included the youtube on how to remove the locking mechanism. The latch is more secure than factory and the leather-ish finish is very clean. Its been in there foir a couple months and has held up well, no scratches or stains.

It fit my 2017 Ford Flex, but in the description it doesn't say whether it is a matte finish or has a gloss fabric on it, in which my car has the glossiness on everything, but the console lid i received does not, so it doesn't match my interior. The other most important part is that the springs are NOT strong enough for the lid to go up on its own. At first, i didnt mind it, cause i just wanted a non broken lid, but it became a hassle after a bit, so I contacted the seller and they were kind enough to send me a replacement, after the return period was over, so I really appreciated that, but even that one did the same thing, I contacted them again to inform them what it was doing so they could possibly send some stronger springs or something, and they decided to issue me a refund.

It is okay. Arrived with a small cut where it folds under the side. Could have returned it but just ended up having it recovered as I needed it right away.
