Default Rear seat cup holder

Well this might sound stupid compared to some of the other awesome things members are doing but, my rear seat cup holder either:

A) wont come out
B) will come out with a pry tool (i.e screwdriver)
or
C)when out will go back in the rear arm rest but then refer back to A

Help!! How can I fix this? Has anyone else had this problem? Is it common?

Any help would be appreciated!

Mine does it once in a while, a few quick stabs and usually comes out.

Try to open it in different angles, normal horizontal to vertical.

Mine was doing that as well, but I fixed it. If you look closely at the bottom part where the bottom of the cups sits on, make sure its connected properly.

You could pull out the whole tray and make sure all is working properly. I think there are 2 clips that hold it in place. I had a couple of coins in mine and it was getting stuck open because of that.

If you can get the armrest out, try to open it when the armrest is upside down.

Not sure, haven't looked close at mine yet.
