Mine seems to slide back to its original position but doesn't slide off.

Broken clip on your case I'd reckon.

Sound's like broken clip. I think mine is having an affair with the rear armrest as it keeps trying to get in the back.

There's two bolts that hold the lid (from my memory of fitting it!)

if someone has swapped the lid at some point they may have not refitted them?
