problem with '01 TL center console swinging cup holder doors

Last week I had a pen get stuck in underneath the cup holder on the right side right where the cup holder doors go when they are open. I messed with it a little to get the pen out now that I did the cup holder doors won’t close unless I force them and when they do shut they don’t line up right, not like before. Anyone had this problem? What would be a good way to fix it? Do I have to take the center console apart to gain access to the mechanism?

This is a common problem. Typically you can just adjust some gears to fix them.

See this thread for some repair tips:

There is also a link in that thread on how to access the door gear assembly.

Also, try the forum search function to find other helpful threads. I found that thread with the search terms "holder" and "doors".

Good luck with the repair.
