Does anybody have a suggestion for a spring or shock to keep the center console lid up? I feel like it falls down too easily. Thanks for any suggestions.

 

Might depend on the model but my lariat has to be pushed to close otherwise it will come back up.

 

That's interesting... mine will stay up, but if it is pushed down a little, it falls back down hard. Wish mine was like yours. Maybe yours has a tighter spring or something. Maybe I'll take mine apart and see if I can tighten up the spring a little.

 

Mine too, XLT 302a; was afraid it might be a belly and elbow problem instead of the tensioner.

 

When I press the open handle mine springs open and stays there. I have the center console that's built in, not the bench seat one. Maybe there's a difference between the two?
