Default Cup Holder

How long did it take to install the cup holder. I have the insturctions and would just like to know how long it might really take. Seems like alot of work for a cup holder.

You mean that flimsy flip out one that sits next to the radio? It shouldn't take longer than 15 minutes. Better not take a corner too fast or else everyone in the car gets a soda bath!...IMO that cupholder doesn't hold a damn thing...I'm just glad it's a Canadian asking about a cupholder for once, since that's the stereotype we American drivers carry around..."cupholder lovers"...

you like that huh? ha ha ha, glad to see you have a sense of humor. I myself plan to add six more cupholders to my car, 2 on the dash, 2 that flip down from the headliner like monitors, and 2 under the hood, for when I'm working on my car. ha ha ha, lol...J/K!!! If you want it in there then go ahead, just remember what we said about that bath. Just make sure to keep a trunkload of napkins ready

might be nice to have a little supply of napkins in the center console too. But then again, having an extra trunkfull would be nice. Especially if youre a big gulp kind of guy.

That's another thing, our cars aren't equipped to handle Big Gulps (I've tried and failed miserably...2wice!)...maybe that should be referred to as a "grey poupon holder" instead. Whaddya think?

Took about 5 minutes, put a screw through the back plate and pulled it out with a pair of plyers, pushed in cup holder. No trim removal required.
