I was in a hurry to get the drinks holder open months ago (can't remember why...who's ever in a hurry to store a drink?!)

In pulling it out a managed to pull the front fascia off and b*gger the spring mechanism in it. I managed to get the fascia half on and it slides in and out however the holding jaw part doesn't flick up automatically like it used to.

Is there a way to repair any of these issues, particularly how to replace the fascia properly? I feel very stupid and don't want to have to replace the whole unit but it looks like that may be the only option!
 
Mine snapped at the hinges and I got a very small drill bit and drilled a hole where the plastic pins are and screwed a very small bolt with nut through ..its now better and stronger than the cheap plastic rubbish ..oh and works perfect and pops out and up everytime ..winner
