I don't recall (did a search) if anyone else has done this, but I had to. The 2 front console cup holders were getting sticky/*****! Can't remove them, normally, so................I took my pocket knife and carefully pryed the top of the rubber holders lip out from under the chrome trim ring. It was almost easy! They then lay right back in the hole (now on top of chrome lip by a hundreth of an inch, still supported by plastic bottom of the round cut-outs base!) Chrome still shines out and they now pull out by hand,for washing ;D
One caveat: If you put a larger size cup in, the rubber holder comes up with it, when you lift it out to drink. No big deal to hold the bottle/cup by the rubber sleeve. (even better for HOT beverages!) And it pulls right off when done! also haven't tried to reverse this procedure, but a drop of glue on the bottom of cupholders round cut-out base would re-hold it, if you really hate the final results! Looks exactly same as new:thumb:
