G550/G63 G550 2014, G63 2016
The one and only OEM cup holder in my 2014 G550 seems to be bent. It looks like someone might have put the seat too far forward with the cup holder deployed. I was going to take it off and try and bend it back into shape, but when I loosened the Torx screws, it was clear that the nuts are not retained behind the console, so if I persisted in trying to remove the screws, the nuts will fall off into the inside of the console (this is really poor design).
It looks like you might be able to access the nuts by taking the carpet panel out just below the cup holder, however, just removing the two Torx screws at the front of it does not allow it to move. It appears that there are two more screws further back and to access them, one would have to remove the seat!
Could this be true? Has anyone replaced/removed their cup holder?
Also, when I searched replacement cup holders (in case I broke my trying to fix it), there are two parts numbers shown (463 680 23 91 9040 and 463-680-23-91-7194) that look like the same item. One is about $100 and the other is about $200. Does anyone know what the difference is?
Thanks.

the honest truth is that I just carefully and deliberately bent the holders so that they performed as designed. No replacement required.
the cup holder on AMAZON is also installed on the drivers side air vent. It works very well, however it does block airflow some what.
good luck, be careful bending the cup holder and enjoy your 550!!!

Cup holder problem solved?
Did you ever figure this out? I’m trying to reinstall my own cupholder too.
thanks

The cupholder was meant to be installed with the console off the vehicle.
To anyone planning to remove the hoop cupholder, the nuts holding the screws fall off behind the console. Its tucked behind the console and carpets and no easy way to get them out.
