I noticed I am having problems with my arm rest box (in between the driver and passenger). When I open the large section, I have no problems. When I open the top part only, the handle instanly becomes locked when removed from the box so I cant close it without slamming it shut. Does anyone else have this problem?

i think its supposed to be like that because mine does that too. it like snaps after you open it so you cant close it without closing it hard

We can gently close ours by just keeping the handle lifted up while shutting. Otherwise, it takes a little pressure (but no slamming) to close it.

Its actually at the point that I need to slam it...sometimes so hard that the bottom box falls (when its raised). I also noticed that the material near the lock on the box is wearing down to the plastic (the fuzzy material is gone)

Mine works normally now. But I did recall a couple of hard closures a long time ago. It was due to the misalignment of the clip. Open it and look to the inside, you'll see a plastic knob thing on the clip mechanism that you can play with and then re-align it.
