Hi, just bought my 2002 GT TDI, rear cup holder was pretty knackered so I bought a second hand one of Ebay.
I wanted to know what the correct action should be when its working properly.
It locks fine and flush when you push it in and opens about half an inch when you push it to open. You then have to pull it all the way out and while quite smooth it's also reasonably stiff.
Is that correct? I did spray a little silicone on the ratchet parts before I put it in.
Its such a contrast to the front one which pops out fully open in one jump!

Mine does the same, it is the original though.

Thanks, I think it's probably just how they work. I wanted to check before I left feedback on Ebay as it was sold as working perfectly :huh:
-
yeah thats how there supposed to go.
ive taken the two little wheels out on mine and now it comes most of the way out when you push it in :)
-
mine dosent even push all the way it sits out about a a cm and yes mines stiff too
-
mine doesnt come out, so dont know how it will go in...
-
mine doesnt even open now but worked when i fitted it :huh:
-
Quite obviously a wonderfully designed cup holder :grin:
-

thats how there suposed to be, they push about a cm out then you have to pull it out.

Mine used to be fine, then started sticking, left the 1cm gap and I thought thats not right, pushed it and there was a little resistance, so pushed it more and it went all the way in, so in my moment of thinking I fixed it, I pressed it to open and it now wont open :laugh:
so if it ain't broke.......
