Was this not a specific design issue? My Mk2 never snapped back, but the handle sits nice and flush, but my Mk2a, to get the snappy effect has the handle dropped by a millimetre or so, so in the dash it is slightly less neat.<br>
You can make your Mk2 snap by very carefully shaving off the piece of metal which chafes, but is it necessary?
To be honest, I didn't even know it was supposed to snap until I got my Mk2a.
