Cup holder fix request

USCG3 · 12-28-2009, 02:56 PM

My cup holder doesn't pop out anymore, I have to pull it out. Is there an easy fix or do I have to take the whole dash apart?

Thanks in advance....

It looks like you need to take off #3 and then remove the fillister screws (#4). From there you can prob just pull out the whole cup holder and try to reseat the spring. I was messing around with my rear ashtray a few days ago and the mechanism looks similar. There was a small round plug on the bottom that prevented the whole tray from coming out. If I am right you need to remove this plug before you can take the cup holder tray out to access the springs. Good luck.
