How to Replace the Drink Holder in a Mercedes Benz

Instructions for Console Cup Holders
1. Buy a new cup holder from your Mercedes-Benz dealership. Make sure you know the model number of your car so that you can buy the correct cup holder (VIN will also work).
2. Remove any part of the console covering the cup holder. You may be able to pry off the console, or if it is attached with screws, you will need to remove the screws on both sides and then remove the console.
3. Pry the cup holder out of the center console. It might be connected underneath with a tab. If so you may need to gently shake it back and forth while pulling to remove it or you may need to press down on the tab to release it using a screwdriver.
4. Replace the old cup holder with the new one, making sure to lock it in place if it is connected by any tabs or clips.
5. Put the center console back into place, making sure to clip it or screw it back into place.
