Over head console sunglass door won't open

i put my glasses in the over head console and it must have moved around while driving and now it doesn't open. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

 

can you partially open it? maybe stick a Qtip or something to re-adjust the glasses?

 

Unfortunately no, it won't open enough to stick anything in there. I think I may need to pop the whole console off but not sure how whit out breaking something.

 

The holders in my 15 are much more shallow than my old 08 and that has happened a time or 2, I have been able to put my thumb right in the center where the little latch is and press firmer than normal and my glasses gave way enough to open.

 

You can always pull the entire console down, it takes a bit of force but if you pull straight down it's easy enough...

But I honestly can't tell you if that gives you any kind of access to the sunglasses holder or not, I just know from replacing the reading lights...

 

^ +1 on above, was going to suggest same thing. Pull entire console down and maybe you can shake glasses free and it will open

 

I'd try lightly smacking up on the thing to try and make the glasses jump and hopefully they settle in a better position. Obviously not too hard.

 

It worked! thanks all for the advice.

 

Whoo Hoo, thanks for the suggestions. Pulling with a little pressure opened my stuck glasses and did not harm the glasses. Thank you for the postings and suggestions, worked for me!

 

Next time try a VERY bumpy road ... at a little too fast speed. That will move their position.
