Mk4 rear cup holder action?

[jbg]

Hi, just bought my 2002 GT TDI, rear cup holder was pretty knackered so I bought a second hand one of Ebay.
I wanted to know what the correct action should be when its working properly.
It locks fine and flush when you push it in and opens about half an inch when you push it to open. You then have to pull it all the way out and while quite smooth it's also reasonably stiff.
Is that correct? I did spray a little silicone on the ratchet parts before I put it in.
Its such a contrast to the front one which pops out fully open in one jump!

Mine does the same, it is the original though.

Thanks, I think it's probably just how they work. I wanted to check before I left feedback on Ebay as it was sold as working perfectly

Quite obviously a wonderfully designed cup holder
