Default Looking for the elusive retainer

I am looking for the piece that holds the cigarette lighter in place. It was missing when I bought my car and I can't find the part on realoem.com or even at the dealer. Does anyone have one of these or have a part number for this? It's a pain when I have to unplug my adapters...

TIA

I think it's in the illuminated ring. I did a little repair on mine... but real oem says this part costs $1.19 I should have bought a new one.

By the way, this is listed under Vehicle Trim - Center Console Storing Partition at realoem.com

Remove the entire tray and give it a shot.

I'd pull the fuse a good few hours before just in case it's still heating. It should already be blown by this point.

Already bought that part but it's not what I am looking for. It surrounds the barrel for the lighter but there seems to be a piece that attaches to the underside of the partition to hold all of that in place. Thanks though!

Do we have faulty lighters...?...

I swear half the time the **** gets stuck and the other half when it's done heating, the damn thing shoot out bout 3 inchs... No telling how many times I had to pull over because my lighter wanted to escape it's home.. No carpet burns yet though..
