Hey @NE Snowman. I need to repair my cupholder latch. Where did you find that part? Numbers?
I never found a part for it, I’ve only fixed the original one posted here.
Dang. After rerereading your post I realized my hope let me misunderstand. Thanks anyways
For the people trying to find a replacement option for the drop down cup holder release. I had a buddy scan and 3-D print a replacement part and it works perfect. Thought I would share the .STL file if anyone else wants to give it a go. Full disclosure, I know nothing about 3-D printing or design so I can't really answer any questions. But he said that anyone with a 3-D printer can drop the .STL file in and just hit print with little to no adjustments (depends on the printer they are using). File attached, pics for reference are of the broken part I glued back together so he could scan it easier. Anyway, hope this helps somebody
Anybody willing to print this out for me? Of course I would pay. Thanks.For the people trying to find a replacement option for the drop down cup holder release.

If no one offers, I suggest searching FB Marketplace. If you search "3-D" you can usually find multiple people that can print if you have a file. It's harder to find someone with the experience to scan, reverse engineer, and create the file. Anyway, they shouldn't charge more than $20 but it matters where you are located. I would also make sure they can print it with ABS for the durability if you have that option. Good Luck

I have this same problem and used @JTRazor ‘s STL file to print a test just in PLA today. @cwags12 and I are going to play around with getting the old latch out and the new one in. If we can get it to work, I’m happy to print some for people.
I used a 90deg automotive dental pic from a trim removal kit to remove it. It will come out in as an assembly but can then be taken apart into 2 plastic pieces with a very tiny spring that I almost lost. Good luck
