I know there is a way to safely remove the cupholders without damaging anything. YouTube videos not helpful.

Huge mess, need to take out to clean it up.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

 

If it's the front and you have a center console. Should be able to just pull up on it

Wow yours is removable you can take it out and move it maybe yours is special.Removable is the 14 15 16 you simply pull the whole cup holder out. Hence removable yours would be more under the lines of taking it apart.

Well if you read the question. He wants to take it out to clean not to change the position like you can in the 14, 15, and 16s.

Yea, looks like he ripped the top of it off, 14,15, and I think 16 are a whole unit, bottom does not stay in the console like the picture. See the source image

14-15 were removable. The 16,17,18s were like the pictures above. This was a big complaint with the 16s redesign. It's built in to not be removable but, you can take it out like the OP did. People were also ordering the 2nd cup holders out of the 14-15 to go into their trucks. It will fit in there but there is no dedicated space or tabs to keep it there.

..not sure if OP still needs to remove cupholder or not.. but I'll detail the process for anyone else searching the keywords on this thread also.. this is how to remove it safely on 17/18 console.

.. open the console lid and use a plastic pry tool on the corners where the trim meets the arm rest and pry up.. there are a series of friction clips holding the entire top section on.

(note the blue pry tool).. yes my cup holder is already removed in the pic

.. look at the bottom side of the cupholder and you'll see the tabs across each of the front and rear of the cup holder.. carefully pop them out and the cupholder will come out in your hands

..I modified the rear tabs on mine to make the cupholder easily removable.. and just for clarification yes you can also relocate this forward like the earlier years without issue if you choose to.. no it is not the same design as the earlier years but it still provides a great hidden cubby storage area under the cupholder
