IMO, you have 3 choices.
Dealershit: (I went in once for the same thing/it rattled) and they replaced the WHOLE assembly... But I think the lid comes as it's own piece as well
DIY (1): Take the whole thing out and disassemble it and put a rubber band, or something else that is stretchy (but hopefully won't oxidize over time like a rubber band) to pull the back and flip the lid open
DIY (2): put some rubber stoppers in the rim of the lid (by rubber stoppers I mean those clear nub things they use and anti slip feet)

If you do a DIY, please take a million pictures and please do a write up!

HAHA!! Great. Well, looks like I'm gonna get my hands dirty. I already tried to rip it out of the holes to see what's in there, or what causes it to spring up. If it IS a spring, I could just replace it with a stronger one, but we shall see. I'll keep this thread updated!!
