check out part #10271371, I'm pretty sure that's it, no need to buy the boot and the retainer together.

 

can you please be more specific....which model is this for? if they are all the same, unless there all the same, and if thats true, i feel like an a ss

 

97+ Camaro (are the birds the same?)

 

93-96 are the same and 97-02 are the same. Won't work for all.
97+ 'birds use the same boot as 97+ Camaro.

 

but it does prove that the retainer itself can be had w/o the boot, now can we find one for the 93-96? I know a lot of people on the board have been looking for this, I hope it helps

 

has anyone bought this and actually proven it ???

I'd be interested in buying a spare I suppose, although it does seem easier to me IMO to buy it as a whole and just install it that way, as my boot was torn and the clip was broke...

This is a good find though and I'm sure it will help many !

 

Yes it's good to check to see if the part is sold on it's own. When I broke the button on my arm rest lid I thought I was going to have to pay $70 for a new lid, sure enough they sold the button seperately.
