You can get a new latch for the armrest lid if it is broken for the SL R230
A friend of mine sent me the pictures of a new latch for the armrest lid
The part on the picture for sure looks like the correct part. The Mercedes part number is: A 230 680 16 39
But i am sure this part is out of production at Mercedes
I have never seen this part before and if they sell the part i would assume there is a way to replace the old broken latch
Not that i need one since i bought a new armrest lid with a perfect latch in the same interior colour as my SL R230
Any here knows how to replace the latch that sits in the armrest lid?
