Default Center Arm Rest Not Closing

Has anyone seen this? The passenger side center armrest no longer goes down all the way. I can force it down, but it doesn't stay. It rests about two inches over where it should.

Sounds like it'd be a simple fix with the hinge or release lever. Look real good to see what's making it do that.

Thanks. I tried looking a couple of times, but no dice. I'm going to bring it in when I return from my current trip.

Are you sure it is not in the extended /raised position?

If you hold the opener lever you can adjust the height of each side individually. I like mine in the up position, which is about 2 inches higher then the fully down position. The rest position is flat in this case. If your issue is angled, then it could be a bracket issue.
