So I broke the little hinges at the very back of the armrest lid and I super glued the broken part. The issue is that there is not even a tiny chance to casually re-fit it. As shown on the image I've taken out 4 screws from the armrest interior but it doesn't move at all. I'm seeing that there are plenty of armrest lids on the market just by themselves so there must be a way to do it.

 

Any ideas?

as far as I remember, it just springs into position, so if the hinges of the lid are broke its unlikely to be able to get it back in again in one piece

I'm talking about the whole cover not just the button to lift it up and grab stuff from the inside. I'm just curious how there is a standalone cover on the market but there are not any ways (as far as I know) to put the cover in place...

Okay alright just wanted to make sure cause you used the word springs (where the button has springs in it).. my bad.

 

So do you think that there's a higher chance for it to fit if I order a new lid?

Maybe since I've glued mine it's more like rock hard-ish.

if you only broke one side, fit that side first and "flex" the good side in afterwards.

 

I have only done one when I replaced a torn lid on my mums car, seem to remember that was the way to do it, but as you say "glued" plastic has no flex in it anymore.

One side is fine so I'm gonna try my luck with the one side, thanks for the help.
