A magnetic latch for a lid and the bin of a container in a vehicle comprises at least one overmolded magnet detachably connected to a lid. A metal portion is magnetically attracted with the overmolded magnet. At least one overmolded magnet is connected to a bin having a magnetic attraction with the lid overmolded magnet to magnetically open and close the lid and the bin of the container. The overmold on the magnet encloses the magnet with vibration dampening material such as rubber. The metal portion may be a second at least one overmolded magnet second. The container may be a center console, glove box, ash tray, trunk, sun roof shade, cover. Spears, clips, prongs other suitable fasteners may be formed on one side of the overmold to allow insertion and attachment to a corresponding hole on the lid.

A locking device for an opening-closing body includes: a housing; a rotor that is rotatably supported by the housing; and at least one rod that is provided to move in and out from the housing when the rotor rotates, and that engages with and disengages from a locking portion. The housing includes an accommodating portion that slidably accommodates at least the one rod, the rotor includes a protrusion portion protruding in a rotation axis direction, and the rod includes a fitting recessed portion into which the protrusion portion is fittable. The protrusion portion is configured to be rotatable to a position where the protrusion portion escapes from a slide path of the rod with respect to the accommodating portion.
