Abstract
A vehicle storage structure includes parallel tracks having a resiliently deformable lid detent configured and arranged to move between a lid latching orientation and a lid releasing orientation. A lid includes track engaging portions disposed on lateral edges of the lid and extending into the tracks for selective sliding movement along the tracks between a closed position and an open position. The track engaging portions and the deformable lid detents are configured and arranged to normally restrict movement of the lid when in the closed position. The track engaging portions and the deformable lid detents are further configured and arranged to move the deformable lid detents from the lid latching orientation to the lid releasing orientation in response to contact pressure applied to the lid at an area adjacent to the deformable lid detents.
