Executive rear seat storage lid fatal demise

I love the electrically deployable centre armrest with handy storage and charging capabilities, plushly finished in fine semi-aniline leather. My 7 year old son finds it delightful.

But as it turns out it is not indestructible.

In fact if you really try hard enough the hinges snap clean off!

Any idea how I can find the part number for this hinge mechanism? I figure I can fit myself. If necessary I will book it in and pay £1million to have it fixed by the professionals but I thought it would be worth checking here first.

Also, has anyone else’s broken? Seems an odd failure to me. L405 P400e Autobiography (MY2020)... Silicon Silver / Espresso

Mine also have broken. I was told that the whole part needs to be replaced. Cost of 700€ plus. So I didn't investigate more. But will be interested in where you get with this. SDV8 AB MY 2020

I’ve looked at 2 approved used in the past month and both had broken hinges. The second dealer said he already had some on back order for a customer so I took the plunge and bought it anyway assuming it’s a regular thing that breaks and asked them to order me a set. Price seems steep even for LR. MY19 SDV8 Autobiography

Did you get the part number? How much? I might think about doing the replacement. Need to find out how to take it apart. SDV8 AB MY 2020

No, I’m waiting for the dealer to reply to my email as the handover was done by someone else so when they reply I’ll post the info here MY19 SDV8 Autobiography

Just wondering if you got any reply. I will try and ask when I drop the car in for its service car. SDV8 AB MY 2020

No I never got the part before I rejected the car, too many faults which they couldn’t diagnose. MY19 SDV8 Autobiography

mine is an approved used and it had broken too, the lid had been bonded shut by someone, I didnt find out for ages after buying it so cant take it back to them. I'd be interested in a cheapish fix otherwise I'll leave it shut First time FFRR owner
