Lightbulb Cupholder Issues WTF??

Heya guys, I need a bit of help. I was getting into the passenger side of my 2003, and the cupholder was in it's "out" position and my knee hit it. It is now askew, pointing towards the gear shift. It still seems like it's on it's tracks, but I'm having trouble getting it back in place. Anyone have a blown up picture of the piece of crap cupholder so I can see what I've effed up. Thanks

It was cold as hell in my garage so I didn't put any effort into these shots. I actually don't think they will help at all, but I figured I'd throw them out there.



Looks like I need to clean my cupholder.

Just pull it out and reset it in there. My friends are always messing it up, but it goes back in fine.

Lol, piece of crap is right. You wouldn't think you could mess up the design of a cupholder, but nissan did their best. Mine loves to get stuck in the in position, and I have to pry it out

Well, I finally got it to go back on it's tracks, but I think one of the rails from the inside fell off. Oh jeez.

I was at the SF auto show the previous weekend and noticed that Nissan ditched the cupholder in the 08 models. I'm not sure when they got rid of it but I suspect it was either to cut costs or because it was too flimsy anyway.

Yeah I have an 07 and just assumed the little thing on the passengers side was an air filter or somethin. So i checked after seein this thread and instead found a 12v outlet whee!

The power outlet down by the passenger's side got added in the 04 model year AFAIK. IIRC, the 03s don't have it.
