Broken cupholder...
<center><img src="http://i18.tinypic.com/53idpj5.jpg"></center><p>A complaint was relayed to me that "the cupholder was non-operational", so I hopped to my duty of seeing if I could repair the situation. The wood trim surrounding the holder is a real charmer to remove without damage. Snap-On makes a set of picks that work well for this operation without removing the radio. Only Audi could make a cupholder for over $100. After releasing the two clips that hold it in with a couple screw drivers, the holder popped out. Time to order more parts on Monday. I was hoping to see one for sale in the market place here to no avail. Have a good weekend everybody.

<center><img src="http://i18.tinypic.com/6fio47n.jpg"></center><p>You'll find once you have the trim panel removed, there are two spring clips at the upper right & lefthand corners of the hole in the dash(where the cupholder goes). Just stick a small flat headed screw driver's into each to release them, and you'll be able to pull it right out.
The pic is of the backside of the trim panel you'll need to remove. This way you'll know where the clips are and where to put the stress on for removing the panel. I can't seem to get the other pic I took of the hole in the dash(where the cuphole goes) to host. Email me and I'll send it to you if you need it. Hope this helps.

pic of the location for cupholder...
<center><img src="http://i10.tinypic.com/660l2bo.jpg"></center><p>Here's the pic. If you look in the upper right & lefthand corner of the hole in the dash(where the cupholder goes), there are 2 spring clips that can be released with flathead screw driver's. Sorry for the poor quality pics, taken quickly. I should have had it centered better.

well, not exactly....
They generally have both Starbucks and Salt Spring Island Coffee at the terminals, like Tsawwassen. If your around Vancouver Island , you might try Serious coffee, probably some of the best I've ever had. God help Starbucks if those guys ever franchise in the states.<ul><li><a href="http://saltspringcoffee.com/">http://saltspringcoffee.com/</a</li></ul>
