On another note, Jeff at Sunset is great, I can't recommend him highly enough to everyone.

Without that piece, I'll eventually have to replace the entire unit to the tune of $70...
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

So I have searched all over for dash disassembly stuff, how do you take apart and remove the cup holders on an '01 996? I have the little twin jobs and plan on replacing one of them that is cracked. I have the part from Sunset, just can't find instructions on taking the old one out and before I start pulling at everything I would like to see if there are any instructions out there. Of course the other choice is to get a flat head screw driver and a 12 pack and get started... but I think i should wait on that one! Thanks
BTW, I have an '01 996 Cab. My right cup holder is still "functional" but is missing a key component. The front cover is intact and it slides in/out properly. However, it's missing the plastic piece on the inside that is supposed to hold the cup when the unit is in the extended position. (The squarish, horizontal, plastic piece with the "cup-sized" hole in the middle...)
If I can just acquire this one piece of plastic, I can probably pop it on there and salvage the (otherwise functional) unit. Without that piece, I'll eventually have to replace the entire unit to the tune of $70... Assuming it still has the piece that I need intact, I'm wondering if you have any need for your old, broken unit?
(Or, does anyone out there have an old broken unit sitting around unused in the garage?)
Thanks for the quick replies, I found it was easier than I thought the bezel just pops off, and the cup holder has 4 mounting screws...it only took me a six pack to get it out and replace!
Sorry Yizzung, that was the part that was cracked/broken, sorry about that.
On another note, Jeff at Sunset is great, I can't recommend him highly enough to everyone.
