Passenger side of center console won't open
After 1.5 yrs of trouble free ownership of my 2018 SL550, the passenger side of the center console suddenly won't open when I push the driver's side button. I looked, but can't figure out how to make it open. Help!

Quick update: After further troubleshooting, I discovered the lifting spring that opens the pass side no longer works. It's either broken, or detached from its mounting point. If I press the release button a 2nd time after the driver's side pops open, it frees the pass side to open if I lift it. Any thoughts on fixing it?
