It's actually pretty tricky. You have to open it first, then squeeze the sides in. There is a little plastic piece that prevents it from falling out, and you have to kind of stick a flat head screwdriver in there to make it come out.

Oh and make sure you remove the screw from the bottom of the holder (visible only when the cup holder is open).

I'll see if I can post pics up a little later on today. I took mine out and put them in the dishwasher.

Instead of removing it, why not just stop using it? What are you going to do with that space where it once was?

Ok so here goes. Don't mind the coffee stains lol cups tend to spill a lot in these holders, they get all the vibration from the road.

1) Remove the screw. I don't know if this is absolutely necessary but I do it anyways.



2) Take a thin screwdriver and try and pry one side, while taking your other hand and squeezing both sides together. You have to pull quite hard to get the top portion to come out. So don't be shy here.



3) Once the top piece is out, take your small screwdriver and pry & pull the clips near the bottom. There is one clip on each side, but the clip on the left is the easiest to get off first.
