I've had the JCWhitney center console (arm rest with stowage compartment) for
about three years.
The arm rest makes driving quite comfortable.
Yes, the plastic hinges broke, so I replaced 'em with a piano hinge.
Yes, the lid slides back and forth (since there's no alignment ridge), so I
added a couple of aluminum slats under the lid which keep it from shifting.
Yes, the vinyl arm rest gets all slippery sweaty from my forearm in the heat,
so I re-covered it with a suede material.
Yes, the screws which attach the plastic box to the metal mounting frame
pulled through.
Yes, it's a POS; but I haven't given up on it.
I plan to replace the plastic box with a plywood box, make a good lid with a
lock (for handgun storage when I pop into the post office and stuff), and add
a lidded trash compartment behind (wind blows empty cigar wrappers out of my
open trash can behind the pax seat).
Sooo, other than that
