Camaro Center Console Spring Placement
I have my Camaro center console lid apart and can't figure out how the 1/2 circle spring goes in behind the release button.

It's probably something simple, but it seems as if I tried everything and nothing fits. The spring has latches on both ends...I just can't figure out what it latches onto.

It doesnt latch onto anything.Simply place the spring in position with the circular end facing foward.It presses against the backside of the latch

I modified mine to use a coil spring that I purchased at the hardware store.

That spring is one of the 'little' parts I always try and snag when I am at the yards- I've had 3 break on me over the years.
