Yesterday morning I get to my office and take my travel coffee cup out of the cupholder. I put the cupholder back down, only it won't stay down. Try, try as I may, it just won't go back down.

I have it scheduled to go into a dealer on Wednesday morning. Those of you who have already been through this, how hard was it to have it fixed? Estimates on time? Does the warrenty cover it? I'm curious to know, and any help would be most appreciated.

 

Easy fix. There is a TSB on it and you can either have the cup holder replaced or have the storage cup installed.

Personally, I got the storage cup and bought the "Wedgie" cup holder for less than $5 at Wal-Mart. Best of both worlds!!!

 

danimal, does the plastic "wedgie's" inner surface leave scratches on the passenger side of the console?

 

I have a black hand towel that I folded up between it and the console. You can just see the top of the towel above the holder...and it protects the console as well. In case of major spill, you also have a towel to mop it up with.

 

I also have the "wedgie" cupholder, I just added some of the soft part of the velcro tape and wrapped the area that touches the seat.

 

i just put slide mine down easily. it doesn't scratch if you push it toward the passenger seat. but don't leave your cupholder there all the time. only use it when you need it. i don't really care because i'm about to change those panels to leather on the console.

 

I feel your pain. Mine broke a couple of weeks ago. I felt so bad I just put the cover back on the car and walked away with tears in my eyes... LOL. I will get the cup holder replaced. I use it and kind of like it. For now I have a dollar bill folded up and wedged between the cup holder and the console in a way that keeps the cup holder down. It looks cheap, but it will work until I get it replaced.

 

BigPapa, let's not get you going again, or I have to call the waaambulance again.

 

I knew that would get a response from ya!! LOL!!
