cupholder, how to open - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

I see that there may be a cupholder in the '91 GT-S but I can't seem to open it. Is there a switch or a button somewhere? I saw in one post that it may be a fuse but I don't have a owners manual yet so I don't know which fuse it is plus everything else seems to be working now.

Fuse on cupholder

Push it in and it'll pop out.

Thanks I tryed that first but will give it another push and maybe a wiggle while I'm at it.

Pull shifter cover up. Remove 4 bolts around radio cover. You can then get the deck and cupholder out.

mine got stuck a couple of times. i just grabbed a dime, stuck it at the side of the cupholder and shifted it. it popped out. try it.

Its mostly for runs to the fast food restarant to hold the soda till we get home.
I have one in my Tacoma and if I hit a bump I have a windshield full of coffee or soda stains.

A few more replies and a cupholder will be more important then a 5S-FTE

Last installment on this post.
I had a stereo put in tonight and asked them to pull the cup holder open since I thought it was stuck. The guy told me it had no rails and that is why it would not come out. I of course forgot to ask if there was even a cup holder in there but I think there was, he would of mentioned that. It looks like somebody tried to repair the stereo and broke the darn cup holder. Oh well guess I'll go thirsty.
