Mines broken at the hinges. It's a real pain in the butt. Can I just get a lid on its own? Does anyone have one? There's no wreckers anywhere near me so I can't just go down and check wrecks out.

you can get them on thier own. ebay is a good place to look, maybe a drive to your nearest wreckers, if possible, to see if they have any, or phone them at least, the last place you would go to would be your local ford dealer, youd be looking at a couple of hundred dollars if you did that!!!!

You can also just buy a new hinge. Around $15 brand new from Ford.
From the parts database (prices are a few years old): AU F060A80 A8 HINGE CONSOLE DR $11.20

Yep, just get the hinge. To install it you have to take off the whole top of the console off, about 8 small screws hold it on, then put the hinge of, and replace console top. Dont even bother trying without, I tried for about an hour before Tibbo set me straight.
