Simplest fix? leave it open.
Um...what year? Is this the '57 in your name? Eitherway, just look and see what whould be causing it to stay open--a bent runner or something behind it in the dash has come loose, perhaps?

It's a 98 Park Ave. It pushes up and clicks into place but it doesn't click or stay shut. It was fixed originally under warranty but broke again.

I think it's a common problem to GM of the era. My wife's friend who is a heavy chain smoker broke hers constantly whe dumping the tray out in 98 Lumina.
On a side note, I got tired of repairing or replacing, so I layed it on the exhaust tunnel, problem solved :icon16:
