Where to get center console piece?

My three old got a little excited and ripped off my center console tab that is triangle shaped then splits down the middle and makes up the arm rest. It has a sticker with "8371651" on it. Dealer say nearly $200 for both tabs that make the set. I figured it wouldn't hurt to look for an online source but no luck so far. Any pointers would be appreciated.

I had the same problem... 3m double sided tape. Its been on for roughly 4 months now with no problems and I cant tell a difference in height, look or function.

With only one tab broken I reckon a good dob of 'thick', fast setting epoxy would do the trick - certainly a lot cheaper!

The only place to get those is the dealer and the replacements will not match the existing wood perfectly.

Take the advice above and use 3M double sided tape. The thinner gray exterior stuff works very well.

^yep.

Same happened to mine and super-glued the broken tab after the dealer told me replacements would cost nearly $300 (you can't buy just one part, they come as a set).

the dealer and super-glue!

One tab is fine, one tab is cracked and the third tab is MIA. Looks like I'm going for the above solution. Thanks very much, all.
