I haven't tried to remove my console cup holder, though I can't stand it for holding drinks. Always seems to get in the way.

You may want to try looking at the parts diagram in this link to see if it is helpful: http://www.jp-carparts.com/toyota/pa...6&part=2661013

If you don't care how it looks, you could get some JB kwik weld and epoxy it back together. Just remember that a little goes a long way with that stuff.

As for removing that cover, I would look at the corners where the springs are. Just be aware that those springs will cause you a lot of headaches when it's time to reassemble. When I tried to fix my broken cigarette lighter socket on my ES, I didn't get the correct spring tension right on the ash tray. I never could get it to open right.
