I was wondering if anyone could take a picture of the inside of the cupholder for the 95-96s, which I believe is different from the previous preludes. I think I'm missing a spring or something. I just need to see what's there to see if I can rig something up. I live in Korea, and there's probably like 10 4g ludes here's, so junkyards are out.

Anyway, if anyone happens to be out at their car with their camera, it would be much appreciated.

 

remove the cupholder from the console and look around for a thin peice of metal....
same thickness as a 2" safety pin and has 2 90 degree bends on both ends

pull the center console if you have to

 

I think I have that piece that your talking about. But I'm not sure if there's another spring or something else that keeps tension on that piece. When I push down on the "push button", it just stays down, doesn't pop up. That's why I hoping that if anyone happens to be out in their car with their camera, if they wouldn't mind, I just need a quick picture to see all the pieces and try to figure out what's wrong with mine.

 

heres your pic coz i cant sleep... past 1am here



heh...i took this picture in 2002 when i had the problem of the cupholder not closing
i took it after i found the metal peice

 

Thanks man, I should be able to figure it out now

 

There is a spring like piece that's behind the side lip in that picture.

If you need another picture I'll try to pull mine out later and take a picture or two.

 

That be great if you didn't mind. I need to rig something up, so the more picks the merrier. This seems like such a stupid little nothing problem for all the trouble, but I'd like the lid to sit flush.
