The sunglass holder, in my 2015 Crossroad broke. There was no more spring action because the spring moved from behind it's set position. It was still under warranty so Dodge fixed it but a new one would be expensive to purchase so here is a fix. The issue is likely the thin plastic edge, that the spring rests behind, isn't strong enough and cracks. Once it cracks, the spring jumps out of position. 

 

I fixed this by adding a nut in between 2 points(blue) and used gorilla glue to secure the nut. In the photo you can see the spring edge (yellow)before it is placed back behind the plastic edge(red).

 

Getting the console out of the ceiling is fairly easy. There are six locations where it's pressed into the headliner. You want to carefully pry that off and then remove the two electrical wires for the map lights. Putting it back on is a little more difficult. I think Dodge places that console into the headliner before they install the headliner. If you try and press the console back into the headliner there's too much give in the console, it flexes too much to press the console in. I used a couple rolled up pieces of cardboard behind the headliner to give it the rigidity to be able to snap the console back up. I would suggest using foam blocks or something similar to place behind the headliner so there's a backing so you can snap the console to the headliner. Good luck!MotoNote_20211107-065728.thumb.png.86b1b863149167152aca77062ad75f66.png
