Lower storage latch

[jr27236]

Hi, so The lower center console storage latch handle broke off today as I tried opening it. Is the handle it own part or am i going to have to replace the entire latch mechanism? BTW 2016 1500 limited.

I dont see a link for the thread your speaking of. But I just ordered the entire latch assembly from fleabay part# 5RQ83TX7AC for $28. The dealer near me said I had to.order the ENTIRE console because the part diagram on his end shows a complete unit only, which contains what I needed.
