Jammed console lid?

We all know how touchy the center console lid it, and how difficult it is to make it stay down.

Mine won't do so at all now. I think something has fallen into one of the slots which hold the hinges of the lid, and is preventing it from going quite all the way down.

Has anyone else encountered this? I'd like to get the lid off to clear out the slot. I've seen videos on removing the trim on the side to run wires, but not the lid.
 
I had a tech come by for an unrelated issue, and he was able to fish out an obstruction from the well the hinge is in. But its still marginal , and pops open a lot. I'm considering gluing a magnet and a steel washer into the lid.
Yea, I went out last night and found a Starbucks drink stopper stuck in there. I was able to fish it out and it works fine again.
