Easy install, just carefully pop off the underside (top plate) of the armrest assembly that flips up - if you get the parts kit you'll see what's holding it on.
insert the latch and reinstall the top plate.

Replaced mine too under warranty.
Car is '05 A6 and broke last year just before the new car warranty expired.
Dealer never made a big deal out of it though said that trim pieces were only supposed to be covered till 12mo/12k miles.
I remember my old '04 A4 had the same problem of the latch breaking but never got it repaired till I traded it in.
I agree that it's poor designing of Audi since I broke in on two different cars. Now I make sure that I close the lid very~very gently but it sometimes just drop closes by itself.

I ordered a replacement from Audi Parts Nationwide www.audpartsnationwide.com (located in CA). Cost was $89 then shipping and handling. They are very quick and have always packaged their items very well.

Replacing the console cover.
06 Audi A4 Cabriolet--how do I replace the center console cover? Short of taking it to the dealer, yet again, and paying an arm and a leg.
Thanks!
Thanks!
