Default Sunglasses case won't stay shut

Has anyone had a problem with their sunglasses case in the overhead console not staying shut? The latch on mine is either sticking in the open position or the spring that closes the latch is worn out. How can I remove this piece to figure out a fix?

Thanks in advance!

No issue w/ mine but FWIW, the whole console up there pops out relatively easy. It's held in w/ a clip and velcro. Details are around the forum somewhere, just do a search on overhead console or the like and you should find. Once it's out, you might just need to clean and lubricate the gears for the door. It's a simple mechanism - once you look at it you'll see how it works.

Good luck
