1989 Console Lid

Just bought an 89 Trans Am, and the console lid
is cracked (I've been told this is a common problem).

Looking for a new lid...

Thanks!

Thanks, that's the first GM one I've seen.

I found this one, it's not GM, but it does say it fits the 85-89 trans am.
I wonder about the color/material match, and how durable it is.

At only $41 total with shipping, it may be worth the risk, imo anyway, as I could always return it and just pay a small restocking fee.

That is just a plastic cover that goes over your original lid.

Thanks for that. I had not seen that one.
Looks like if you need just the cover that would be the way to go.
Mine is broken in every conceivable way and the outer cover looks like a mushroom trying to turn its self inside out. I don't think I could get it to look like a console lid again much less function as one.
