Default Broken Cupholder

Cupholder on my 05 Roadster stays up. I never use it. Is there a quick fix?

Superglue and/or duct tape?

There is a how-to somewhere on R&R of it. Have to do a search.

And there is a bin you can replace it with, but I don't have the number handy.

I have a perfect one for sale. What is it worth to you?

Had the same problem, took the cup holder out, removed the spring and BAM was fixed. Though afterwards in noticed the top of the cup holder, when closed, was no longer flush with the rest of the console. To solve this a glued a small piece of plastic in the back to basically function as a stopper. Problem solved

To open the cup holder I just push down on the back of it and to close it i just press the catch in. Manual operation now sure, but it looks as good as it did and still works as a cup holder.

Seems the only thing wrong with these darling little cars is the dang cupholder. Alas.

Question Re: Broken Cupholder

How did you get at the spring? I don't see any screws for the console cover.

Same thing happened to me today (found the cupholder up, spontaneously) and it won't catch in the down position.

Steps:
1. Leave in up position.
2. Prepare your right elbow
3. Elbow the cup holder straight across to the passenger side. NOT straight down.
4. The top half of the cup holder should pop off along with the spring.
5. Line up the cup holder minus the spring and snap it back in.

These are real steps, I'm not joking.

I could reinstall my cup holder and take video if you want.


Also you could read my post here about the cup holder

Also the links aren't working for me. Whenever someone post a link in their thread, I can't click it. I have to right click then open in new tab. Can't even use the middle scroll button to open in new tab. It's really annoying, I'm using Chrome btw.

My favorite All-Time movie. "...104 miles to Chicago...1/2 pack of cigarettes...it's dark and we're wearing sungasses... Hit It..."

The Guinness Record for cars destroyed in a movie was only recently broken by GI Joe, The Movie.

Not nearly as good, however...

You have to remove the entire center console, then remove the cup holder, THEN you can take the spring out...

There's a tutorial on the forums somewhere as to how to go about removing the console...
