Cup Holder Removal...

[Bryan]

My head says these things should just lift out... Am I wrong? I'm down to my last piece of step to replace the foam, and these holders are holding it down. I've tried prying around them with a screwdriver, but they seem pretty brittle. Any tips or tricks to get these out? Can't get to the underside of them without removing the whole rear seat/step section...

Every logical ounce of me says they are just snug because of being weathered etc... But god they could be glued...... My bet is no and I would try and spin and walk them out that way..

If they are the plastic ones, they are likely tight and given the age, will likely break coming out. Can you access the bottom and push them up?

^^^ they are plastic and to get under them would mean un-bolting and removing the whole rear seat/step section.. Not even sure where to start on that piece.. I don't think they're glued because I got one of them to raise about a 1/4 inch, but that's all she wrote. Can't get a good enough grip to go any further... I'm half tempted to just break them out, replace my foam, and maybe you've got some stainless ones with rgb LEDs laying around Mike?

The one that comes up a little spray some type of lube and work at it. Then you might be able to get to the bottom of the there one.

I would just cut it out any way you can and upgrade to stainless steel cup holders all over! just my $.02!
