Home Made Cupholder Replacement Bin - 06-18-2011 , 12:06 PM
I carefully utilized a screwdriver and some needle noze pliers to virtually rip the entire cup holder mechanism out of the console through the top. Take care not to scratch up the silver trim around the opening. Placing a masking of duct tape around the top of the opening will help a lot with protecting the silver plastic trim during this modification. Grip, pry and twist the parts with the pliers and screwdrivers until they snap and start coming out in pieces. Once you have all the parts and working mechanism removed then the next step is to replace it.

This should be a "sticky".
