Hyundai Accent Center Console Latch

Center Console / arm-rest latch  2017 Hyundai Accent Hatch - it will likely fit other models but has not been tested.

There are two versions of the Handle. One that uses a brass heatset insert and one that directly threads into the plastic. You only need to print one. Click HERE for the inserts that I used… they are also linked below. 

Bill Of Materials

• 1x 5mm OD x 40mm Standoff  (35mm long will also work)  - LINK
• 1x M3 x 10mm Button Head Screw 
• 1x M3 x 5 Threaded Heatset insert (not needed if using the “THREAD” version however this will be stronger - LINK

Print Settings - Voron Trident 

Orvil ABS+ Black @ 260 degrees 
0.2mm Layer Height 
30% Infill
6 Shells / perimeters - This is important as it gives additional strength
 

Assembly 

1. Remove the 6 screws as indicated by the red arrows
2. Gently pull the cover away from the arm rest - be careful as the bottom near the hinge does not allow the cover to separate completely from the arm rest. 
3. You should now have a gap that is sufficient to remove the broken parts of the original latch.
4. Install the heatset insert into the handle - being careful to ensure the threads are clear of melted plastic.
5. Press fit the standoff into the latch - NOTE if you are using a 40mm standoff you will need to hold the spring in place while press-fitting the standoff as it will not fit on later.
6. Press on the two spacers onto the standoff - one per side
7. Attach the handle to the latch - note the orientation in the photos - Ensure it is tight as it cannot easily be tightened once fitted to the car. 
8. If using a 35mm standoff - Slide the spring over the the standoff & latch. The straight part of the spring between the two coils should fit nicely into the slot above the standoff. IMPORTANT NOTE - Be careful of the spring orientation - the ends / kinked points of the spring should be pointing AWAY from the handle - this ensures it does not dig into the plastic parts of your car. 
9. Flex the two legs of the spring away from the latch and reinstall the assembly into the pivot of the armrest. This is quite fiddley and took quite a few attempts, remember to be careful not to put too much pressure on the plastic underside of the armrest .
10. Once the spring & latch assembly is seated, check the two spacers on the standoff are sitting in the correct spot and fit nicely between the latch pivot housing.. there is approx 0.5mm clearance here. If they are not aligned the latch will not work. 
11. Gently press the two large plastic pieces together again and while holding them in place, check the spring functionality of the latch
12. Reinstall the 6 screws & recheck latch functionality - You're all done!
