Replacing Worn or Old Cup Holders
A cup holder is an absolutely essential interior component that secures your beverages safely while driving over bumpy roads. It keeps the center console of your Subaru Forester completely clean and highly organized during daily commutes. These simple yet critical components prevent dangerous hot coffee spills from scalding the driver during sudden emergency stops.
Quick Steps to Replace Cup Holders
1. Empty the Center Console
Remove all existing trash, loose change, and old beverage containers from the immediate area.
2. Pry Out the Old Insert
Use a non-marring plastic interior trim tool to gently pry the old, broken plastic housing directly upward and out of the console.
3. Clean the Console Base
Thoroughly wipe away any hidden, sticky spills or trapped dirt from the bare plastic console cavity using an interior detailing spray.
4. Align the New Part
Match the external retaining tabs on the new cupholder with the specific mounting slots inside the center console.
5. Press Down Firmly
Push the new assembly straight downward until the plastic clips snap loudly, locking it completely flush.
