How do you remove the old cup holder lid?????

 

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

 

I'm trying to put in the parts that hold in the cup...Their is a little plastic piece that holds the cup holders in but it broke off so when I bought the new cup holders It snapped in but on the bottom the little plastic part it's supposed to snap into broke off

 

here is a picture I took to show what I am talking about

 

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.
