some people say you have to pull towards you and then up....we were going to replace ours so we unscrewed it, noticed it was opening more put it back in and it opened all the way up the way it should.
you might want to try the pulling towards you thing. but im sure someone will come by with a definite answer

I was knocked out when on here the 3inone oil drops on each of the four hinge points made the thing open the way I had wanted it to for the three years I put up with man handling the door prior to lubing it. It's like MAGIC!

It does work better, but still won't go to full open with e-brake engaged

Mine was the same, and then I found out on the forum that it is 2 stage. I used a bit of WD and then carefully loosened the 2nd stage until it opens properly. Be very careful not to force it as the mechanism isn't too robust.

I believe I read somewhere that the first stage allows the driver to open the console while driving and it keeps the contents from blowing all over the place. Some might think its a stupid design, personally I think it's very clever!
Someone huh?

Mine opens all the way when I pull the entire lid straight up a bit and then flop it over.
I only discovered this when I removed the entire console to fix my flasher unit.
Before that I wondered what the hell those engineers were thinking!
