Talking found it ... the cup holder fix

I got in my xf and elbowed the damn cup holder and the top part went flying. Did a search and found nothing on putting it back together, but found a lot of people with the same problem. Took an hour but I figured out how to put it back together.

You must remove the entire cup holder assembly from the center console. goto this post if you need help

Since you have it out might as well clean it. Mine was all sticky.

There are 4 main parts. See first picture. part 2 comes out of part 3. You have to push the clips on both side in and and pull it out. Check out the rest of the pictures.

It actually seems to work better now. It used to stop half way on the way up. Now it just pops right up.

If you dont use the cup holder and dont want to replace it but dont want it popping up all the time just take out the spring and it wont pop up anymore. It will still be usable, just press it like you normally do then press the back end of it and manually pull it up.

Sorry for the lack of explantion for each step, but a picture is worth a thousand words.
