Element – GM (89002272)

Factory part number 89002272: an element supplied by GM. It is catalogued under Accessories & Mounts > Inserts & Elements.

• Insert and accessory parts are usually trim-level specific, and the same console takes a different insert depending on whether the vehicle has a floor shifter, a column shifter or a storage bin.
• Mirrored parts are easy to order wrongly, and a guard or carrier for the other side will bolt on and then fail to align with the panel it protects.
• Check the option code as well as the model year, since accessory trim often changes within a single production year.

Genuine parts are made to the drawing the vehicle was built from, so dimensions and materials match the part being removed rather than being close to it. The number stamped on the old part is the only reliable identifier, since two parts can look identical and differ by a millimetre or by rotation direction.

The part number is the thing to verify. Where the old part carries no legible number, a VIN and a photograph are enough for us to identify it. Handed to the carrier within one to two business days from our US warehouse, free over $59.
