My center console lid is stuck (The driver's right arm rest). The upper compartment will not open. Only the lower deeper compartment with the pull up latch will open. I can't get the long horizontal button to push in. Am I missing something here? Anyone know how to get it to open. I tried taking it apart, but even with all the screws off, the latch being stuck makes it impossible to open.

Can someone take a look at how that top latch hooks on to give me a hint on how I could approach getting the latch to release. I have about a 1/4 inch gap to work with...But I have no clue what the latching mechanism looks like. I tried pushing at the plastic piece that I could see through that gap, but its not moving. Am I supposed to pull at it? push it left? push it right? or is that a stationary object that a different moving part latches onto?
I appreciate any help. Thanks.

when I try to push the button, it doesn't budge at all...its pretty jammed. I tried poking a small screwdriver in there to try to pry at it or at least move it in any direction...Can't get it to go.

If you only have a valet key, then you can get a full feature key cut from it. There is a physical difference between a valet key and a full feature key, but the grooves are the same
