Cupholder Fun...

Bernard Fishtrousers · 1st August 2019, 11:58

So there I am, setting off from the traffic lights this morning when a cupholder gently emerged from the passenger side of the central console.
I didn't even know there was a cup holder there!
And now although I can push it gently back into the dash, it won't stay hidden!

Is this a known fault and/or what needs mending/replacing?

TIA

If it won't stay put, it's usually a clip that's broken. Don't be fooled into thinking you've one in the driver's side though, you don't, unless fitted by a previous owner.

You can remove the whole cupholder cassette by inserting a small flat blade bottom right corner of the fascia, & levering towards the cig lighter, at the same time gently pulling.

This is the driver's side, but the opposite corner

Thanks, I'll have a look at that in a minute, are replacements readily available if I behave in an unusually clumsy manner?

I did have a new one but just sold it

Try the "Wanted" section to see if any traders have one
