Found this thing in my center console. Is this a part of the car? Or just some crap the last owner left behind.

That was it! It slides a little more smoothly now. A little piece of a slider was actually broken off; I'm thinking of using some CA (superglue) to repair it.

Mine came off, too. And I'm the one always boasting about how my 8 doesn't have any problems. Guess I can't say that anymore.

I think they are suppose to break. I remember reading somewhere that after a short period of ownership, the console lid is suppose to slide forward by itself so that way it holds the drink tight against the cupholder wall or closes the console altogether.
