Re: New to me 1998 Silverado Extended cab
The fold down center rest lid hinge broke off. The hinge rod and tabs are intact and tight, but the lid parts are gone. So, I don't know what's missing exactly.
I know there are "repair kits" for the 1999 and up, but I have a 1998, so don't want to but the kit without knowing for sure it will work.
I am able to fabricate a more robust lid hinge bracket, if I knew what actually needed to be replaced and what the dimensions are, as I don't want the back of the lid to sit "above" the base, or to have the front unable to close because the lid hinge connection is too short, forcing the front of the lid into the air.
Any photos and measurements of a healthy lid hinge mechanism would be greatly appreciated!
