Front seat rear storage, is..... weird. :/??

Hello wonderful people. I recently got a 2015 c300 4matic in white (love the car) but on the rear of the front seat, is some type of storage compartment, well the thing is that it dosent close, and it looks silly. I think i have to press something to close it, but i just dont know how, since im new to the car, (comming from a 2013 civic), it is just a lot of technology for me to handle :’) any advice? How do i close it? Is it broken, how do i fix it?



thank you guys 🙏

Yeah that’s def broken. It’s supposed to retract itself. If still under warranty, dealer visit would do

It’s broken. If the car is out of warranty I would put a strip of Velcro on the back of the seats and the storage compartments near the top, hopefully they stay closed like that.
