CM Center Console Lid and Catch

I am trying to fix my armrest. The lid is in fine shape and the spring and button work fine. What is the additional part I need for the button to catch so it stays closed. Does someone have a diagram of console?
Thanks,
Kevin

There is a part (I got mine on ebay) that snaps into the lower half of the console, that often breaks & falls into the hole. It has a spring loaded bit that rotates upon contact with the upper "hook" and holds the lid closed. Sorry no pic.
