Hey guys I dunno if this belongs in this section but the sliding lid on my AP2's cupholder area doesn't open automatically anymore. My girlfriend filled it with a buncha crap so it wouldn't open when I pressed the button. So I jammed it open and now it doesn't automatically open when I press the button, I have to slide it manually. I opened the console and found a little wheel/gear-like spring that is probably the mechanism for the door to slowly slide open. There are two holes besides the spring piece. I found a few threads and even one where someone drew a diagram of how to fix it but I still don't see how to fix it. Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks!

 

It is a PITA to fix and in my experience it is not the same after you break it. I recently dealt with this a couple of days ago and then i broke it again. I will update and try to take pictures if i have time.

 

I fixed it. I was looking at the wrong part that the guy in the other thread with the diagram was referring to. I was referring to the little wheel/gear thing but I ended up finding the spring in the car after looking back in it and fixed the problem myself. Definitely was a PITA though ure right.

 

Bring an old thread back to life.... Anyone know how to fix the center console, My Center console doesn't even slide automatically anymore. It's actually difficult to slide the slider back and forth. Any Help would be appreciated

 

Remove the console. Check the tracks that the door slides along. Sounds like you have dust/gunk or some other obstruction. Once you disassemble it you'll find the spring that pulls it open. Make sure it's mounted properly.
