Just wanna say thank you. Honda wanted to charge me almost 300 dollars to replace that center console piece. I appreciate you.

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 thanks for the quick helpful video.

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

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.

Thank you! I was fighting that spring and you were like “DONT do this”

I was doing that. Much appreciated.

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!!

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

2023 bro THANK YOU! My girls car latch just broke. Will replace today thanks to you.

Thanks for the video. I ordered the part on eBay and it took about 15 minutes to replace. Very easy.

[DallasLozano-ym]

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 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!

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

[loveangelmozart]

THANK 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💯

[OmarFakhry]

That’s the best video to explain it. Putting back the spring is a little tricky. Thanks 🎉

[kevinmcintyre]

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!

[steveeagle]

Much better then another video that had music in the background. Super useful and spot on. Thank you for posting

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.
