Default Center Console Rattle

Does anyone know how to remove the cup holder assembly. I am getting a real bad rattle from there.I can't seem to figure out how to remove it. I tried removing the said panels and carpet but it did not help.

I need to remove the whole assembly not only the cup holder part. My cup holder part comes right out.

Default It's almost impossible.....

You have to remove the center console where the radio is.....both side panels, the arm rest....the parking brake stuff....then it pulls right out!

It's easy to get the handle off that you grab. There is a little tab at the bottom of the leather piece, you pop it down and then pop off the handle....then you just have the bare handle there.

You really need the Bently manual to do the remove/install.
