['02 Corolla LE] center armrest box lid function

I just installed a used replacement center armrest/storage box lid in my "new" '02 Corolla LE. The lid of the box has a little black plastic tray that is connected to it. I'm wondering how this tray is designed to work.

Is the little tray supposed to always remain level (i.e., parallel to the floor) even when the lid is closed? Or is it supposed to be level only when the lid is open. If it stays level only when open, it will certainly dump its contents into the box.

I'm wondering if I should have sprung for a new replacement box lid rather than a use done.

Thanks very much.

yes its supposed to remain level when closed or open

O.K., thanks. That's what I thought. I'll order a new one and hope the guy I bought this one from on eBay will take it back. I'm hoping he didn't know that it was defective.

Are you installing the lid on the regular console? I dont think you can just put the lid on. I think you need the whole console
