BTW here is my center console clip made from Aluminum. It's all out of focus but you can get the idea. No more broken PLASTIC.

Re: Armrest catch tab needed...
How did you affix it to the button slider? Screw? Bolt + nut?

Re: Armrest catch tab needed...
Very good question. First I tried pop rivets but they rubbed on the plastic when the button is pressed. I had to drill them
out and tap in some 40/40 screws. They have to come out flush to the plate which contains the clip so they don't rub. I took a few more pics.

Thanks for the snappics there - I think I like that more than repeated broken plastic tabs...
