I am need of some desperate help with a 2002 996 Cabrio. The factory cupholder, under the air vents, got jammed and wouldn't open. I tried to gently pry it out and of course the plastic front with cup logo promptly cracked in half. I will have to order a whole new cupholder. Does anyone know how to remove the whole piece so I can install the new one?

 

When they replaced my radio and pulled it out the cupholder over it seemed to be accessable.

 

im preety sure you can pull it out contact Suncoast http://www.suncoastparts.com/product...Code=POTE996IN

 

Look at the radio removal DIY and you will see its pretty simple to remove the cup holders.

 

Thanks for the help guys, I really appreciate it. Is it necessary to remove the radio and other trim? My only concern is the plastic is so darn brittle from lack of care and I am afraid of snapping something.

 

I hav e removed the trim around the radio several times, the only way you can crack it is with a hammer!! J/k Seriously its pretty easy.

 

remove the trim and the AC controller...
