I had to buy one of these the other day but when I began looking I was told GM no longer made this retainer. I went to a dealership and gave the last 8 numbers of my VIN and got the part for about $10. People were trying to sell me the whole console advising that you couldn't buy the clip. I bought a glue gun and glued the boot and its like new. Just wanted to let ya'll know. I have read alot of threads were people cannot find these retainers. thanks

 

Good tip, I can only imagine what the stealership wants for a whole new console.

 

I had the same problem with mine, it broke and no one knew how to get a new one. I ended up just rigging it up somehow and it worked till i sold it.

 

The bezel that goes around the radio and heater/ a/c controls is $187.00 and the whole dash is $725.00!!! I had a audio system theft and had to get quotes from the dealership... wow! An arm and a leg!

 

Do you have the bill?Because it must have the part number on it.It would be nice to have it.

I replace mine with a complete boot since the stealership tell me that the clip was not available anymore.

I paid 120.00$ can + 15% of taxes for mine(complete boot)

 

Yeah, how about the important info here. Year of your car and part number?

 

GM NUMBER 10271371. Sorry it took so long to reply with number. 1998 Z28 w/6spd.

 

You might check out LS1tech.com there is a guy that makes them out of steel wire for liek $10 shipped or 10+ shipping. Supposedly they work great and will never break.
