I have googled and searched every kind of parts site there is. I CAN NOT FIND a center console arm rest. The bottom part of the arm rest broke and all I really need is that backing that screws off.

I don't believe anyone has come up with a good solution to fix that. Most of us just get a 1st gen style armrest which is made different from eBay or wherever and use that instead.
 












fixing the arm rest

mine just broke identical to yours a couple of weeks ago.

First I used JB Weld on all of the mating plastic surfaces I could then clapped it and let dry for a couple of days.

Then I got a piece of aluminum bar stock at Loews drilled holes to line up with the screw holes and got longer screws. This helps re-enforce the repair. It has been holding up.:thumbsup:
 






Didn't think about trying that. I tried gorilla glue but it didn't hold up long. I thought about figuring up the dimensions and having something machined out. There is a machine shop were I work and could use any material I wanted to mke the plate out of ...just not good with figuring degrees and angles.
