986 Center Console

[1cruzin]

The Center console armrest on my 1999 Boxster is broken. Is there a simple repair or do I need to purchase an OEM replacement? Any idea what a replacement cost would be? Is this something I can do myself?

Your help would be appreciated. :rolleyes:

It really depends on how it's broken. On my 986, I ended up getting a new center console with the hinge refit, as the way it was broken (by the previous owner), I couldn't perform the refit.

Another option is used parts. I'm somewhat spoiled by being a rock throw away from Parts Heaven (a Porsche Salvage yard in Hayward, CA www.partsheaven.com), and I have replaced several components in my car with very decent used parts off wrecks.

Otherwise you shell out over $200 bucks for the lid frame or $500 for the console, depending what broke.

d'oh.
