    Hi Everyone,

    I have a 2001 Prius (bought used). The door on the console that covers my CD player is not holding itself closed and is driving me bonkers. You push it in to close it, but it only partially meets the latch, so it falls open, especially when I hit a bump. It is plastic. I hate to take it to the dealer if I can figure out a way to fix it.
    Anyone have ideas that have worked?

    Thanks!

    Go to the scrap yard and get the parts you need to fix it. The latch probably needs to be replaced.
