no you don't have to remove the entire console.... just pry up the plastic trim around the cup holder... once that is up you can see a few bolts unscrew those and you can take the spiller right out...

Couldn't have said it better myself.. Mod Queen..

I took mine off a few weeks ago, and threw it in a big sink of hot water and let it sit.. I had to get all the dried Root Beer that spilled all over it and had dried and was keeping it in the locked (and tipped) position after it spilled again..

I know Chris.. but I spent my money on other things.. (like my bumper and fenders. :biggrin.. you'd probably be mad if I said in 1 week I will have ST200 Struts huh??)

I will eventually get the new console.. it's cheap..

damn you STEVE!

it is my birthday in less than 2 weeks.... perhaps you could ship me the bumper or the struts and I can love you again... heh

how funny....."cup spiller" couldnt have said it better myself......i hung a tight corner fairly quick and next thing i know im wearing my beer....and i know of atleast 2 times my gal spilled her diet coke.....she no longer is allowed to use my cup spiller!! FYI...my cougar also has the arm rest and cup spiller.
p.s. i did learn i can hang as many lefts as i want and by habit now i hang on to the drink on right turns.

Ask around on this board in the For Sale Section or if your desparate go to your local L/M dealer and pay the big bucks.
