The flimsy circular piece of plastic that holds the cup holder in place broke. Can't see a fix for this.

Same as everyone else has said. It's a flimsy cheap design and it's broken at the base and misaligned.

My cup holder broke finally as well. I was able to wedge it in, but upon taking it to a shop the second little nub attaching it broke and i had to resort to a hot glue gun to keep it in place.

Without replacing it, tilt it up verticly and use a hot glue gun to seal that edge...be careful not to touch the opening mechanism for the console.

There is also a replacement cupholder available at jagbits.com.

Other good resourses for this car are Rockauto/parksgeek and google lol.

I've had this problem twice on two different cars. I replaced the armrest with one that has no cup holder at all. I like it much better since the other was so flimsy and could hold only a very small cup without tipping over (which happened once) so I never used it anyway.
