Just pull it out and replace with a storage holder.

I did the carbon one from MaCarbon http://www.macarbon.com/store/996-st...or-top-23.html, but I bet suncoast would be able to get you one.

I made a cover for mine after having no luck finding something to replace those ugly and rattling tape holders. Not the perfect fix but will have to do for now. If I had a piece of carbon fiber I would make one with that.

Thanks I made mine with very thin wood and sprayed it with flat black. I tried gloss and it looked bad.

We make a carbon storage bin that takes the place of the tape holder. Check it out at www.macarbon.com

Is the CD holder really that easy to remove? Just yank it out?

Yeah, it's that easy! Here is a pic of the carbon storage bin in a 2004 996 Turbo Cab.

If you don't want the cd or tape storage, the cubby is a good place to put a cell phone and it's a Porsche factory part. If you don't want carbon, you can pick this bin up at your dealer for under $50.
