After my new insert today.

Hi all,

I just received my replacement cup holders but am unsure how to remove the stock holder (if you even remove it)...? I know I need to at least remove the folding lid/cover.

Didn't see any instructions on their website...

Thanks in advance!

You just grab it and yank up. It pops right out.

It may take a decent amount of force, but it does pull out.

 

[pchLC]

Just pull straight up on the lid? Its all one big piece?

Yeah. Mine was really tight to the point I was concerned I was going to break it pulling it out, but it came out in one piece. The BH3D replacement has worked out really well.

 

[pchLC]

Yep that worked! Thanks!

Just used the cup holder insert from Brad on a nearly 1000 mile round trip drive up the CA coast. What a saving grace. These little creature comforts make a big difference for my family.

Only wish I had received the CarPlay mod before we headed out of town.

I got the BH3D unit too. It's awesome. Looks factory, and the cupholders do what they are supposed to do: hold cups (or cans/bottles).

kudos to BH3D but I was a little disappointed with the fit and finish for $80+ cupholders. You can see some roughened areas that needed to be sanded down and finished with a little bit more elbow grease.

They were pretty responsive to my concerns and did give me a small discount for me to go to the hardware store purchase grit paper and flat black paint to get it to 100%.

Had similar issues on the BH3D cupholder - rough and actually some "jitter" in the printing causing ridges in the compartments. I emailed and they took care of it immediately. Very good customer service.

The first unit should not have been shipped out - it was pretty bad. An improvement in their QC process before shipping would serve them well.

@RobRed did Brad exchange it for a another one for you?

You guys have cupholders? Quit yer bitchin'

I can bitch if I'm paying $80 + shipping for a raggedy looking product.

So what's your point?

 

[Pighead]

55s ain't got no cup holders. we get by.

Wow, aren't you cute.

I prostrate before you, your Alpha-male highness for driving without cupholders

 

[Pighead]

you got a cupholder. count your blessings.

I am cute though.

Installed the cheaper BH3D inserts. They're functional, not super refined, but worth the cheaper price I think. I like that the lid can still close with these.

Mine is super ruff as well, not smooth at all. Maybe I should toss him a PM
