Default How to remove cup holder in middle of center console?

Long story short, when I made a turn, the overflowing soda cup came out of the cup lid (where the "x" is, the straw goes in it). No, it did not spill on the carpet floor. Now I need to clean up the center cup holder. How do I remove the cup holder (not the drawer where you pull out, it's the cup holder between the arm rests)?

The little clippy thing that holds the cups just pulls/unclips out. Get down there with a flashlight and you will see how it works. Just be gentle but firm.

I know what you mean... You mean the one on top not the drawer cup holder.
I dont think it comes apart, I just removed, cleaned and reinstalled the entire cup holder console thing between the seats, it was
a mess and I wanted to be sure it was super clean, but that part of the cup holder did not come apart.
You can flip the holder part up against the lid and spray the bottom and clean it that way.

It's possible, here a pic showing the general idea. I did it once, it's a real pain, so I suggest you clean it up as much as you can and let it be.
