ABSTRACT:
A movable panel assembly for a vehicle includes a housing adapted to be mounted within the interior of a vehicle. A panel is pivotably mounted to the housing about an axis. The panel is pivotably movable between a closed position and an open position through a vertical position. A spring member is operatively connected to the panel and biases the panel to move from the closed position to the vertical position. A damper is operatively connected to the panel for selectively retarding movement of the panel toward the open position.
