Okay, so inside the armrest there is a dual cupholder.
12021
Works pretty well, but it's a very tight fit on my big, styrofoam cups, which makes the entire cupholder pull up and partyly out sometimes when I'm removing my drink. So, I removed it and looked at the bottom:
12022
There are clearly some clips that can be moved in or out (so that their sharp tangs dig further or less into the sides of the cubby) by turning the little rings in the middle in between the cups. Turn one way, and it forces the clips further out, the other way allows them to slide further back in.
Simple enought, but the problem is that I can't find a way to turn the clips with the cupholder installed. If you turn them while the cupholder is out so that the tangs protrude far enough to really lock the cupholder in place, then you tear up the insides of the cubby trying to shove it back in. If you leave the clips in a position so that they don't tear up the cubby, then they aren't tight enough to hold the cupholder in place.
Any suggestions?
