Problem with storeage in armrest?
 

I'm just wondering if this is a problem. I noticed on my Z that the little storeage which contains the 2 cup holders is a little abnormal. When I press the release button, it doesn't pop up or anything, so I end up having to hold the release while using another finger/hand to pull it open. Usally when you press the button, it pops up a bit so you can easly open it... Is this just mine, or anyone elses too? It's not a big deal, but I was curious.

everyones pops up half way, and some dont pop up at all. donno what you could do about it, maybe replace the spring with something more powerful.

Oh okay, I'll be calling nissan about it and see if they can fix it or whatever. thanks.

Mine has a mind of it's own. Sometimes it pops, sometimes not. I'll wait for the first dealer trip.

having the same problem too!

On mine if the cup holders are in the rear position the door won't popup. If I move the cup holders to the front position it will.

It's an undocumented design feature. lol:D

your not alone mine never pops up, oh well

On mine if I push the button and hold for about 2 seconds it always pops up. If I don't hold it down it does nothing. I wonder if they designed it that way.

Give it a try!

What is happening is that when the lid is pushed on those two little rubber pads on the bottom for more then a few hours, it sticks to them. If you notice, once you free it up, close it and push the button it will work...until you park it for a few hours and try again.

yup... it seems you gotta hold it down for a little bit and it will open- i wonder if its supposed to mimick some other things on the car like the motion of the nav door?

I'll try putting some silicone on them. Maybe then they won't stick. Worth a try.

Thats because if the give the spring enough time, it will break the seal between the rubber pieces and the lid.
