Where can I get a new cupholder?

Hey everyone. My cupholder recently broke and I want to get a new one. Is it easy to take out and reinstall? And is the assembly expensive? If anyone can offer up some input, it would be greatly appreciated.

ALSO, my steering wheel has started to squeak and its terribly annoying. It squeaks whenever I turn the wheel. It sounds like the plastic is rubbing against each other. Any suggestions to fix that up? I was just thinking of spraying some WD-40 in the cracks and see if it will go away.

Thanks!

BTW im almost done modding my car, ill be posting pics soon!

You can just pull it out....and shove the new one in. However, I would recommend just removing the old one and see if you can live without.

Search the forums on the steering wheel squeek...it can be as simple as a shot of WD40 or involve a lot of labor to R&R a seal in the steering column. There are multiple potential causes. If it squeaks with the engine off...that's a real good sign.

With the cup holder compressed, put two finger tips in the oval cutout along the back top edge and pull up. It will snap out unless it's 'glued' in place by spilled soft drinks, etc. In that case, spray with all purpose cleaner, wait a few minutes, then pull.

New cup holder at dealer is about $55. I have a used one for $25 + $14 shipping. If you are interested, PM me.
