Abstract
An apparatus and respective method for replacing a damaged center console hinge system. Initially, a portion of each of the original hinges is removed, leaving a portion of each base to form a respective registration section. A first hinge replacement member is placed over the first registration OEM hinge section. The first replacement hinge pin is inserted into a hinge receptacle of the OEM armrest cover. A pin of a second replacement hinge member is subsequently inserted into the opposing hinge hole in the OEM armrest cover and the replacement member is placed over the second registration OEM hinge section. Threaded fasteners, adhesive, or any other mechanical fastener are then used to secure the replacement hinge assembly to the center console.
