HI EVERYONE

Can anyone tell me if the cup holder in the arm rest in the back of my GS300s 1998 is easey to remove,I think something as jambed inside and will not close.

I think its just a matter of it just clipped in but not sure and dont want to brake anything so if anyone can help I would be very graitfull.

I have phoned LEXUS but there not helpfull,said I need to bring it in for them to see.

Many Thanks

I tried in the past but gave up from fear of breaking it. I completely removed the armrest from the seat but still couldn't see how the cup holder is fixed in.

The procedure also doesn't appear to be in the workshop manual.

I was reading about this on ClubLexus the other night and you need to remove the leather so you can disassemble it fully I'm afraid!

that makes sense, there are probably some hidden screws or clips.

I dont fancy tackling that, There must be easier way?

You're not going to like this answer but I had something jammed in the interior I just swapped into my car, had to take the back seats out the car, and then used a torch to find something jammed in the mechanism and then stabbed that with a knife until it came out, then shake the seats about until it fell out

It was the only way I could think of to get the angle needed, turned out there were a few pieces of a kids toy and a sweet wrapper stuck right at the back!

Works fine again now though, just a pain in the ***** having to remove the rear seats after I'd just put them back in first time in two months :o
