Okay I heard that the driver side door storage compartment thingy (sorry, I don't know what it's officially called) had some sort of a spring. I am assuming the top latch had a spring mechanism that would snap it back down.
Can someone verify this for me and maybe even provide a pic if it's true. I don't see a spring in mine and the top cover just flops down when I let go of it. Sorry for the stupid question (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

yes, it has a spring.
Its located on the inner part of the door/top/flap at the rear. Look at the bottom of the door and you should see a hole for it. I believe it attaches to the screw on the lower side rich |

Awesome, thanks for the pic. I will look at it again. Maybe the spring fell in.

The door card has a hole with a metal grommet to keep the spring from tearing through the cardboard.
