LCI - Front Cup Holders

John H. · 09-19-2022, 10:04 PM

Has anyone replaced the rubber insert in their front cup holder? If so, do they just pull out?

If you are asking about #2 or #8 as seen in the diagrams below for the various types of center consoles...the rubber insert has its own part number...so the insert is autonomous...thus removable/replaceable.

{Do you mean #2 in the diagram of the cupholder below}:

{...or perhaps #8 if you have this center console set-up}:

If you look carefully, there is a spot for you to pull it out. 11-13 are different from 14-16 so if you are replacing them, make sure you are getting the right one

I've never looked in my F10, but in my F06, they do indeed come out and can be cleaned. I'd imagine yours would come out if you used something along the edge to "pry" them back a bit then you could get under them and lift them out.
