I want to know how I can remove the cup holders on my 1997 Maxima so that I can replace the heated seat switch on the passenger side. Anyone have a link with some pictures that would show me? Or am I better off getting a Haynes manual?

 

Just pull the cup holder straight up by the lid and it will come out.

 

yup.very easy.just pull straight up and dont be afraid,you wont break it.

 

Right "you won;t break it" HA.... When I bought my car there was a screw holding the cupholder in place cuz the person who had my car before me prolly yanked it out and he/she broke one of the clips that secures it to the console so now its getto rigged by a screw

 

really? hmm...well then Pokki...do be careful! It was never a problem on my 97.

 

well arn't the cupholders the same for 97n98s?

 

Pull up on the lid, but also use your other hand to pull on the cup holders too. That will hopefully help to avoid breaking it.

 

there are 3 clips holding it in place. just pull up but make sure u dont lose the clips cuz most likely they WILL come off

 

I dont think we need threads for this .... this stuff is so easy its rediculous .... you just pull it right out

 

you beat it off with a bat

 

mine has a couple rusty screws holding it in place

 

 

my front holder doesn't fit into the clip nicely. Its always loose. and the dang cup holders are so small. i need bigger ones. but yea.. just pull right up

 

I bought mine with a broken cup holder, so I super glued it. It works fine.
