Center console lid spring.
2014 vet. Does the 2014 center console lid have a spring to keep it from slamming? If it does, how do I fix mine? Just get a new hinge?
How do I remove the original hinge?

Neither does mine, but I'm told that's normal.

No spring on mine nor any other if memory serves... My old C6 didn't have that either.

With all due respect, that rings a little hollow. FORD included a center console spring in my GT500. They also included forged wheels.

I do not know anything about the 2014. My 2019 does not have a spring on the console lid.
Also, the cup/drink holders are too shallow to keep any kind of drink container from tipping over. I keep looking for a solution but have found none. Anyone with an idea how to correct this, please contact me.
