Default New Bin


!0 mm socket

Lots of dirt under plastic

WD 40 to remove brake handle cover


(4) # 10 torx screws to remove the bin

Bin removed screws reinstalled

Clean, clean, clean! WD40 worked great on gunk

Snapped back nicely with a second pair of hands

Dropped in a piece of thick felt padding. Done!
Received the new bin this week to replace broken cup holder. Easy install, lots of clean up under plastic.

There is a new listing on thingiverse to 3D print a bin to replace the cup holder. This one is supposed to fit better then the original posted and also has the option to print a cup holder that slides into the bin.

Thanks Ron!

Pretty clever items.

I have a unit arriving any day that jams in next to the seat.

Good stuff!

As long as my drink holder isn't broken I think I'll leave it alone for now.

If your cup holder isn't broke, you must not use it

No I don't use it because it is useless! I'm working with a two drink holder between the passenger seat and the console. My Crossfire is automatic trans. Haven't found a drink that will fit properly unless I use a cozy cooler wrap!
