Cup holder will not stay closed . . .
Been acting funny the last few weeks. Today it will not stay closed at all. What and how do I disassemble and replace?

Don't rush, take your time, work carefully.
If you need to fix glue any pieces in place, use poxipol. NOT super glue or some other acrylic glue.

naaah... i fixed mine after a passenger broke it by pulling the lid open.
I disassembled the central console and i found a broken plastic pin on the latching mechanism.
I used a 3mm screw to put the pin back in place.
It was easy since the pin already had a hole and the screw fit perfectly.
It was a 20 minute job.
Taking the central console apart and put it back toke most of the time.
You have to disassemble the console to pieces to take the cup holder out.

My 2009 G37X sedan cupholder piece broke..Any after market foam or rubber insert I could put in there to hold cups steady. The lid is short and no bother stays open.... If you know of an after market piece for sale instead of glue and tape and foam please email me.. Thanks Ken Kmad55@comcast.net
