I guess it is broken then - theres no way i coudl use the word 'flips' and 'enegertic' to describe it - its like a bullet, hitting the stops with a bit of bang (thus launching iphone from its cradle!).

I will strip it down and see whats broken. Any ideas how to remove it - i cant see any fasteners?!
The idea of it gliding out with audi quality, like the cupholder/dis control cover, grab handles, and rear coat hooks certainly appeals.
