Searched the forums, but has anyone tried removing/replacing the retractable cup holder before? And if so, was it difficult?

 

I have not, just wondering why you would want to do that. I love that cup holder, its in the perfect spot and it never spills my drinks. Unlike the awesome "cup holders" in my old ITR.

 

Actually my cup holder broke so I just ordered a replacement. Wondering if it's possible to do the install myself instead of going to a dealer.

 

Isnt this under warranty?

 

not when you tried to hold a 10lb dumbelll on it
seriously that cupholder is so fragile. Sometime i feel it can't even hold a Starbuck's grande.

 

The front cupholder is very simple to R&R - extend cupholder, then take a thin standard screwdriver and place it along the groove on top, slide it toward the rear of the holder, and then press it down to hit the release clip & slide it out. Actually, on Technosquare's website there is a great pic of this in their "removing the ECU" directions. Hope this helps...... www.technosquareinc.com

 

THANKS!!!!

 

what if the cup holder is broke and now it;s stuck in, how do i remove it?

 

Mine's currently at the dealer for this thing sticking and a bunch of other little things.

explortainment - That's a good question??? I'd suggest taking it to the dealer & let them figure it. Was going to suggest maybe going from the back side of the lower dash cover, but can't take it off without removing a bolt inside the cupholder space. Not much help, but that's all I can think of right now.... Besides taking a tape-lined screwdriver & try to pry it out from the bottom front of the cupholder...get it out enough to break off the front cover then get the rest out.....crazy!!!

 

yah, it'll also break on you if you buy a 10lb big gulp.

 

damn you how do you guys get that small diameter cup holder to hold a 10lb dumbell and big gulp in the first place. well mine is stuck so i can't even try! here we go to the dealer again

 

Mine was replaced by the dealer and it took 15 minutes.

 

What is a cupholder doing in a sportscar anywhay?
