arm rest compartment comes detatched

I'm wondering if anyone else has this problem.

You know how the arm rest has two compartments separated by that center divider?

Well, my center divider never stays attached to either the top part or the bottom part. No matter which compartment I want to access, the center always comes undone.

I will take it into the dealer to get it fixed. But, I have to say, that it looks like a bad design. And I'm not sure the dealer will be able to fix it permanently.

Has anyone else dealt with this issue? And was the dealer able to fix it?

Thanks, Greg

Its pretty common from what I can tell 04 and 05. Its bad design, from what I can tell the knob that holds the upper compartment base down gets worn and no longer holds on. The spring pulls it up the the top opens no matter which one you select. I haven't care enough to fix it, no biggie.

I had this exact same problem and fixed it myself. The problem hasn't happened again in the 10 months since I fixed it. Look for the post by 'irq' in the below URL...

Taking mine to the dealer tomorrow. They're replacing the whole thing, so hopefully I won't have that issue anymore. It used to work, no problem, when I first got the car...
