05 LS430: loose cupholder
All - one of my cupholders is loose and I noticed there is a screw that is loose underneath one the flexible arms. Problem is I can't tell what type of head it is and more importantly I don't have anything that small that can tighten it. Is there:
1. An easy way to remove the cupholder to fix?
2. A tool that anyone has used to fix a problem like this?
I can post a pic of what I'm talking about once I return home.
Thanks,
Sajjad

I have removed mine before and I seem to remember a small philips was the tool... if not it was a small hex head... sorry I can't remember exactly.

Nevermind - figured it out. Removed the wood panel surrounding the heating/cooling seats button and then the one surrounding the gear shift ****. Removed 4 screws and the cupholder slid out. Found a deposit slip from the previous owner . Tightened up the screws and it's ready to go! I used the paint can opener that you get for free at HD with electrical tape at the end as my "prying" tool. Worked like a charm.
