Default Passenger cup holder

What do you do with a pathetically feeble cup holder that doesnt flip out properly and is all stiff probably due to lack of use?

I shoved a bit of grease in there, but seemed to make zero difference....

Take it out completely so you can get closer to the workings. Then try a 'dry' silicone lube spray and give it some excercise.

Having the same problem and trying Vaseline to no effect 😭 I think I'll try that and see what happens.
