cs51762 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Does anyone know of a source for the little black plastic latch that holds the sunglasses holder closed? This is for a 2013 model year. Of course, the dealer wants several hundred dollars for the whole overhead console, but that's not happening. Thanks.

eGuru Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Your best (least expensive) bet is a salvage yard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cs51762 Posted September 29, 2017 Author Share Posted September 29, 2017 I thought that would be what I'd have to do, but I was hoping that the latch would be available new somewhere. Oh well, the salvage yard search begins. Thanks, eGuru. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drolds1 Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 While you're at it, also get the rubber bumper that appears to be missing on the driver's side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebhender Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 This is late for the original poster, but I just had the same problem and found a Grainger part that works as a replacement. Grainger part number is 5ENW3 and vendor part number is PR-4PK. Worked perfectly for me, just had to cut off the little clocking tab on the console where the latch clips into. Hope this helps other folks hlwho don't want to spend $500 to replace a $2 part... Eric 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WMgold1 Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Used ebhender’s part recommendation, along with a YouTube video to remove the assembly to get to the old part, and it worked perfectly! Of course I also had to file down the tiny tab to get new one in. But this post, and response was a HUGE help. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wandrr Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Though this is an older post, I will also thank ebhender for the lead. I fixed the identical system on my 2017 Edge. The advice worked perfectly - the repair took just a few minutes, including filing off the tiny tab on the console. You can buy the part from Grainger as stated, or you can go to the actual manufacturer (Sugatsune) and look up alternate retail sources by zip or postal code. Have a look at https://www.sugatsune.com/product/non-magnetic-mini-touch-latch-3/ . The Sugatsune part number is PR-4PK . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you exactly file down the tiny tab? And what YouTube video did you reference? I just got the part, however I am having trouble replacing my old one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
