Default Re: Has anybody successfully REPAIRED a cupholder?

Good you did. The suggested retail for that part was something like $82 in 2009. The parts guy at Hayes Chrysler saw that and said "I don't have the GUTS to charge that, since you special ordered it, {punches keys on calculator} how's $55?"

Yea, you have a problem - you are arguing with onehundred80, no one wins a debate with him! He's like an "Intellectual Ninja Canadian".

Give up now!
