Center Console Missing Piece

[EricGrain]

Hey Guys

My Marauders centre console storage bucket has about 3 or 4 little rubber 'pegs' or seal things around the holes in the bucket, to help the lid close nicely.

Does anyone by chance...have any spares?

Recently my centre console was removed to have the leather re-done, and I noticed that one of the rubber pegs was missing...

I AM 110% CERTAIN, This vehicle had all of them and that no hole in the storage bucket came "without" a rubber peg.

I have a NIB center console insert/armrest and I just checked....there are only 2 rubber pegs diagonal from each other on the bottom half of the console insert.
Then the latch hole/slot and finally an open hole that the armrest-lid's peg fits into when you close it.

OOhhhhhhhhhkay?

So uhmmmmm your point? I am asking if anyone HAS this part, not how many people have in theirs, or for someone to come on here just to say I got a tiny detail wrong.

I am curious if anyone has the rubber pegs available potentially so I can buy them

I think his point is maybe you are not missing the part you think you are as there are only two of them - not 4. You stated 3 or 4, Joe is saying you only need two. You did not state how many you are missing, just how many you think you need. i will chime in and say I have been looking online, off and on, for a couple of years and have not found it. I am sure there is something similar to that part but I can't find it. One day I will run into it at a hardware store or a swap meet but other than that I have no info for you.

Edit: You were 7 when these cars came off the assembly line, not sure you could be 110% sure about how anything came from the factory on these cars.

Look. Today my car was brought in and had the center console removed. Prior to this, I have read about those rubber parts going missing on some Marauders over time... Being as INCREDIBLY OCD AS I WAS. I checked to confirm my car had all of them. Since that day, each time I open my storage box, I check those little pegs.

Today I opened my storage box, and what do you know? One location that used to have one, no longer had one, and in it's place, was a plastic hole with some dirt around it signalling a peg was there at some point prior

Your comment on age is not only slightly incorrect but also very insulting. To assume that I can not see what is on my car or not has anything to do with my age when the car came out is absurd.

This happened on each one of the old threads I read also from years ago. So even before I was on this forum it was being argued over... I could make a comment on age but won't.

Instead of trying to find the part for everyone.... who owns this car, people do this..

I am so sorry if I incorrectly put how many were there. My question was finding one. Not how many. I'm sorry. I guess my search will yield more results else where.

110% eh? Not a math major. Post a pic of what you need. A picture is worth 1000 words... or posts to a thread.

Then the latch hole/slot and finally an open hole that the armrest-lid's peg fits into when you close it.

I checked two of mine, that is how they are made. The one larger hole at the driver's side rear where the peg fits is supposed to have a grommet in it. One of mine is missing.

OOhhhhhhhhhkay?

So uhmmmmm your point? I am asking if anyone HAS this part, not how many people have in theirs, or for someone to come on here just to say I got a tiny detail wrong.

Me too, I need a grommet for the one that aligns with the peg in the lid.

Junkyard is the only place to get some of these rubber pieces. I believe they are used in glove box doors, gas cap doors, etc.

Young whipper-snapper is easily offended.

I usually try to be quite diplomatic and clearly I wasn't diplomatic enough with you. My point was Joe (a long time member) was trying to help you. I was merely trying to clarify whether you were in fact missing something or not. My point about your age has to do with the fact you didn't buy the car new so how would you really know what it came with or didn't. I bought my Marauder off the lot, just because it was suppose to come a certain way is no guarantee it did. Even in today's production process which is much more accurate than in the past. For those of us with older collector cars we realize that what we have isn't always the way it came or was suppose to be built (e.g. one of my 442s has the windshield fluid jug on the drivers side, according to the assembly manual all 442s have the jug relocated to the passenger side. Well mine isn't and it won't be.)

I had my Marauder delivered to me with daylight driving lights, I'm guessing that makes it one of less than 5 in the US but I will never be able to definitively claim that - because I can't - no records of that.

You can be easily offended or just realize I was trying to help you clarify whether you were missing something as well as realizing in the big picture of life — its no big deal.

Your response to me and Joe says more about age than anything else in this thread.

Wow, thanks. I even searched that site. I found something close (the larger Ford bumpers) but not these, I knew they had to be out there. But see Eric, since you posted about these many of us have learned something.

I had the same problem with the wife's Charger. Found some that were close, had to modify them to fit.

I wished I had never clicked this thread, now I have a headache


All this over a rubber nubby you can pick up at your local automotive paint supply store
