'Slow close' of front seat armrest/Console lid

Has anyone else experienced the console lid no longer able to stay open without having to hold it up? Mine now needs to be held open in order to access storage and I have to carefully make sure it shuts otherwise it would just flop and slam closed. There used to be some tension that would keep the lid open on its own and some resistance when trying to close it. Now it feels loose and broken more or less.














Is there a DIY to tighten the console lid so it can hold itself open or should I just have the dealer fix it? Thanks!
Nope, that sucks.
