I have a 2001 model S60 and have had the cup holder in the dashboard replaced twice. The problem is that the expanding rachet fails after a short time so it cannot be set to hold small diameter cans such as Red Bull etc.

Has anyone had the same problem? If so what did your dealer say?

I have never seen a dash cupholder being able to fit such a slim can. It's not that they break, they are not designed for such thin cans.

My dealer told me they don't offer the dashboard cup holder as an option anymore because it did tend to break quite often.

Hey, that's what he told me.

Yannis, how much is that thing anyway. How does it install. I am interested in filling that hole in the dash.

Steve,

the part itself costs about $40 to $45. The installation is fairly easy; I have never done it myself but a couple of my sales consultants know how to do it and we usually do it ourselves to save money (since our labor rate ia $78/hr.) in the deal. You just have to be very careful when you remove the bottom part of the console as it is very difficult to snap it out (without gouging it) but once you do that (preferably with a small PLASTIC knife) you just slide the cupholder in that space and it snaps back very easily.

Does anyone have a picture of this both retracted and extended. I couldn't see it in the accessory book.

Took these from my XC. Should be the same part as in the S60 though. http://www.villagephotos.com/pubimage.asp?id_=170491 http://www.villagephotos.com/pubimage.asp?id_=170489 http://www.villagephotos.com/pubimage.asp?id_=170490
