I have an 89 Kota. and when I push my cup holder in as soon as I push the gas agan I slides right back out. Does anybody else have this problem. How do you fix it?

 

It has little plastic retainers inside of it on the slider. My guess those are gone and it is very loose. Just head out to a junkyard and pick up a good cup holder, $5 I bet!

 

I've looked at all the junkyards around here for them and their nonexistent. Cause I need a headliner to, the previous owner completely took the whole thing out.

 

I had that same problem and I took that little spring in there off so it spring powered any more and now mine stays in until im ready to use it. As far as the headliner I dont know about. I recovered mine with Realtree Hardwoods camo but I dont know where (besides junk yard) you can get the whole thing.

 

I have a cup holder in pretty good shape and a headliner board but I'm not too sure about its condition

 

How do I take the spring out

 

if the plastic tabs are intact on the sides, take out the sliding part of the cupholder and wrap all those tabs with electrical tape until the tray has a snug fit. I had the same problem and my wife complained about it hitting her knees so now that i did that it stays in but is still easy enough to pull out with one hand...If you still dont understand i can get some pics for ya...

Oh yeah, those little tabs pop out of the dash piece...be careful, as it's real easy to break the tabs. Pop out the front and slide it back. Wrap them with 4-5 wraps electrical tape and reinstall. Slide your cupholder tray back in and test for fit. If it's still pretty loose then wrap a little more on it put don't put too much or the tray won't slide...You may have to press the tabs in slightly with your finger to get the edge of the tray past the tape...
Tab still in...



Tab out...



Tab alone with tape wrap...

 

OK thank you. Ima have to take it out and give it a try when my truck gets back from the getting the freshly rebuilt transmission put back in. TYVM for the pictures you posted.

 

Ok I have my truck Back now awesome tranny Does the actual holder just slide right out or do I have to push something in or what?

 

After you remove the cupholder from the dash(4 Torx screws), it's just held in there with a plastic nub that is easy enough to slide under the outer housing and pull the sliding part out...
