Yesterday after my lunch from work. The sliding cup holder cover breaks. It slided nice and smooth before. So when I close it yesterday it slides then it breaks in half.
Does the dealership sells that piece? If so, how much it may cost? Also is it easy to install?

not sure on sliding cover... i replaced cupholder b4... call up dealer, i'm sure they can get the part.

That's likely to be covered under warranty. The part will probably cost you around $50. The labour for installation will probably cost more. That's a 0.5 unit of labour I think.

car is out of warranty. but thats what i thought it may cost.
now i just need to know how can i get to it to change it.

Good luck. I just called the dealership about my 02 E320 sedan, where the leather seats (which are coloured by a top layer of colour rather than a complete through and through dye) is losing its colour. Since my car is 3 months outside of the original warranty and the extended warranty doesn't cover it, I might have to pay $1800 to have that front driver seat leather cover replaced.

I was able to replace it. It costed $37.46. it was easy to change. I just had to remove the cupholder and slide the cover in.

I used these instructions to remove the cup holder:

Sorry to hear bro. Have you tried a reputable upholstry place and get the matching fabric. Because on my '92 BMW 325i the roof stated to sag and I took it to a reputable upholstry and they were able to match the fabric. They charged me about $250.
Good luck!!!
