Rear cup holder broken
« on: November 24, 2010, 06:45:37 pm »
Hi there,

I have just bought a gti and the previous owners kids have kicked the cup holders so the door has snapped off. Does anyone know where a replacement can be bought?

or the cost from a dealer?

I have read somewhere it can be replacde by a jetta coin tray. Does anyone know where to buy that?

thanks for any help

the cup-holder is made of 2 parts, the cup-holder mech (which has the 2 holders and a hinged door).  A cover then attaches to the hinge down part, and makes the cup-holder suit the car (colour).

The cover is about £10 from the dealer, and the cup-holder is around £37.

I have a brand new holder (never fitted) for £22 posted, you just need to salvage the cover from the broken one, or buy a new cover.

Installation is easy, 2 T20 Torx) screws, and your done.

I have a brand new black #45.  You need to buy #46 to finish it off.
