See what I mean about cost (that's for the whole set and not just one). Two of mine broke and disappeared somewhere. Dealer replaced all of them for me at some point. The old ones can be pulled out easily, the new ones cannot.

Thanks for that Mike. Looks like I will be replacing all mine too rather than just one.

Damn, glad I noticed this. I just lost one of the clips. Where it went, no one knows. So how hard is it to replace these bad boys.

I think the old ones can just be pulled out carefully. You might have to squeeze it to unlock the holding tabs.

The new ones I assume are just inserted because you don't have to remove the console to replace as with the old ones.

Wow...talk about reviving a thread from the past

Anyway...those stick'em tabs are actually worlds better than the original that came with the car. They still haven't broken off yet since the dealer put them on a bit over 6 years ago
