CUP HOLDER SPRING BROKEN --- how to fix???

On our 2003 NB, the rear cup holder (not the CD storage box) lid is floppy which is annoying as it is right where your left elbow rests whilst driving. I can see a little spring on the left side has come loose or broken. What is the easiest way to get access to this and fix it? Thks.

cup holder, luxury!!!!!! I have to put it in my lap when driving (accident waiting to happen). I think its time to trade up.

Hi Johngalt

You can get cupholders to fit in your ashtray for under $100.00-that way you get to keep safe while driving without draining the bank account on a trade!
I've got a spare you can have for some small coin

Hiya.
Yes I saw those, hmmm not sure if i like the look of them and i have the compartment not the ashtray on mine. And in winter, the cup keeps my crotch warm

Hi again,
Sorry I just checked them out and the last time I looked there was only the one type. They look alright. Which one do you have?

RE the cup holder,Brand new unit is around $45+gst .If you want one give Wanganui/Whanganui Motors

a ring and ask for Chris, 0800 926 436.
He has the file out ready to go if you want it,2 in stock.
Cheers

I've managed to lose the spring from my facelift nb centre console cup holder. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement spring?
I plan to cable tie it in place when I get another one (did this on the remaini g spring which was almost ready to fail)
