    Is there an easy way to get all the loose change out from under the front seat cup holders?

    And speaking of those lousy cup holders (both front and back seat), anyone have a useable solution, such as an aftermarket cup holder that fits over the hump, etc.

    Pop the front cup holder right out. Spread the sides of the console gently and pull the cup holder insert. If you feel like you're breaking something, don't pull as hard as you can, just adjust your approach. It will pop out. Remove change. Pop it back in. Done. :)

    Thanks so much. Just finished getting the change out and cleaning under the cup holders. Ten years of loose change and dust bunnies were under there!

    I'd estimate around $5. I didn't count it--just dropped it in my change jar. But there was enough under there that it was keeping the cup holders from closing.

    LOL!

    You did wash them first? . . . . (sticky candy coins . . . )
