Subject:      Removing & replace OEM cup holders
Content-type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

Hi Folks,

I have a 1986 Westy Wolfy, which has 3 OEM plastic cup holders, with the coated metal O ring for holding cups.

All three are broken (bottom on each missing) and I wanted to know, are they easy to take out and even replace?

I see they are pop riveted in to my brown plastic interior siding. It's tempting to drill out each rivet to take them down.

However, I don't know if I can replace them with any cup holder, if I chose to do that. I'd rather not have 3 hole in my interior if I don't need too.

Anyhow, I wanted to know, has anyone successfully taken out the OEM cup holders (how?) and have you replaced them with different cup holders, in the original place (how?) and with what model cup holder?

Just curious,

thanks much!
