The gear that opens this compartment has fallen back behind where it is supposed to sit. Does anyone know how to fix this? Or at least get the gear so it isn't rolling around?
If you need to remove the upper console to get the gear out you need to pull down on the end closest to the windshield. It will take a good amount of force to pop it free. You may bend the clips in the process but they are cheap (less than $1) from the dealer and in one of my old posts I listed the part number.
