Anybody break thier CUP HOLDER?!?!

Al from jerz · 11-15-2006, 09:00 AM

the rear passengers cupholder broke on me. You know how its kinda spring loaded and opens up like a scissor, well the spring popped out so mine doesnt do that anymore. that bugged me but i can live with it, yesterday the ring that the cup slides into detached leaving me with only one holder back there and a bunch of extra parts!!
I tried to see if i can fix it but everything is o tight in there, anyone fixed this before? you guys think the dealer warrenties cupholders?

btw i have an 06

I don't even have a cup holder in the bag.....MY cupholder sits in the passenger/codriver seat

***nandanrp*** · 11-15-2006, 11:45 AM

No drinks in my car. Problem solved.

Al from jerz · 11-15-2006, 12:03 PM

FWIW the guilty party was an bottle of water i had floating around the rear...i popped it in the rear cup holder proceeded to drive as usual (figured id pour it into the ic sprayer tank later down the line) and by the time i made it home it broke. No spillage of fluid occured due the the catistrophic failure of the cup holder apparatus.

Kylipso · 11-15-2006, 12:08 PM

Just rip it out and save some weight :P

gte123v · 11-15-2006, 12:17 PM

" rear seats too.

I buy 2.5 Gal. jugs of steam distilled water (for like $5...), just leave it in the garage or laundry room or wherever between fillups

Where is this rear passenger cup holder of which you speak???

Pitcherman · 11-16-2006, 09:09 AM

^^ Some have it in the blank spot on the back of the center console. That small rectangular piece comes out and there is a collapsable cupholder that fits in its place.
