No visible sign of any hinge being there.

I'm surprised no one has suggested duct tape... There's my vote.

Mine is broken too.

I think I'll get a new hinge and panel bond it or 2 part epoxy before screws. IMO

Mine has been broke for awhile. I actually like it this way since you have easy access to everything in the compartment. Just lift off the lid and toss it in the rear bucket seat! lol

I tried superglue since I had most of the pieces, that was mostly a fail it works if your gentle on the lid but if you're not it breaks

i had this problem but had the pin. After trying to figure out why it wouldnt fit you have to push the pins in or out while putting the spring it.

I don't always comment but I saw that write-up. It was very good and informative, thx for making it!

Have you figured something out on the console yet?

I need to do this as well, but I have a giant project, that I am doing with the car. This reminds me to go on that list though.

My console lid hinge was broken when I bought the car, so I don't know how it got broken, but it looks like it is very easy to break. I bought used one on ebay that is complete except for the hinge pin. I have no idea what it is supposed to look like or where to get one. Anyone out there have suggestions? Cappy I have a 94 camaro z28 convertible.
