Swapping rear center consoles
I got a new rear center console. The hinge of the storage container cover is rivetted on my old one. Do I need to buy a hinge repair kit and put it on my new center console (does not have a hinge)?

TIA

Exactly what scott says... you will need a hinge repair kit, but that's the way i'd do it.

I believe I stuck a sharp object in the rivet hole and it popped out. Then I used zip ties instead of a hinge repair kit, worked like a charm.
