Front Cupholder Removal & Cleaning

[StephenDaniels]

Hi All,
My front cupholders on my '13 plate XF are a bit filthy.
I want to remove them to clean them, but can't find out / remember how
Any Ideas ?

No idea,
I need to do this myself and had a look the other day. It seems like it is an overly complex removal of centre console for what looks like it should be an easy operation.

Maybe this would be worthy of asking on the Podcast? Tom at swallows knows the XF pretty well. I would be interested in the answer myself.

Cheers

Good news,
In a fit of "rage" (well more like warmed up temper tantrum) I explored the cup holders and what was holding them in..... answer (luckliy) nothing, just two rubber tabs on the bottom at each end. If you bend and pull in the right direction it just pops out. Clean it up and pops straight back in.

I have clean cup holders. Mine is a 2009 though, they may have changed the design later on....

Yep, had mine out for cleaning the other day. Easy-peasy.
