problem with Coupe cupholder
Has anyone had this problem:
The little flip-out cup holder is broken. It is stuck in the open position. It will close but not go down in the other cupoholder so that you can close that little door. Also a small coil felt out of it, (not a spring) that has a piece of copper wrapped around it. It looks like a tensioner or something. I will have it checked out at dealer next week. This is first Mercedes I have had, it should be covered under warrenty right?

i think it should be covered, that sucks the cup holder is one of my fav things about the car, how it pops up(still amazes me, 
) i hope you get it fixed. Its my first mercedes too, and i cannot believe all of the minor problems that i've had to deal with, considering its a mercedes and its luxury reputation. Oh well...

Timmy!
When you ask your dealer 'bout this, can you please ask him for the part number of the cupholder. Please! I really must have one of those, but they are not even optional in Sweden!
Thanks in advance!

"Why? Then everytime you changed gears, the shifter would jam and/or break off in your hand."
Actually, my cupholder has been fine, but one good hit with my elbow, and it will be gone! I just wish the shifter was "German over-engineered"!
