the front cupholder unit should be pretty cheap...

ask someone on the forum... the functionality is soo poor in actually holding a drink, i'm sure some people have opted to just outright remove the cup holder... if it wasn't for the fact that i needed something to hold my ipod, i'd sell you my cupholder...

Mine is all gunked up from the previous onwer and it seems no matter how hard I try to clean it I always miss a spot. I'd like to get a new one just to have it clean.

take it to the dealer... have them replace it under warranty... they replaced mine once already cause it was "sticking" and didn't open/close fluidly...

Yeah if the dealer does it for free, then you're in luck. If they wanna charge you for it, wak away... You can find them on ebay for like $50. It's really easy to replace... just extend it and pull it so it unsnaps from the bottom, then drop in the new one.

holy *****... $50???? I don't think it even retails for that much...

i've seen them on ebay for about $20-30 + shipping

an EX-passenger spilled a cup of coffee and got a few things sticky & screwed up, so, I had the dealer replace the passenger seat motor, the cup holder, ash tray & lighter... all under warranty
