Mine gets stuck closed sometimes.....you can see it come out slowly, but it takes a good 20 seconds lol.

There are 2 Philips head screws on either side when the cup holder is out. You can remove the whole assembly and check it out.

There is a plug that prevents the whole tray from coming out of the assembly. Pop that sucker out and you can check out the tracks and locking lever.
