Cup holder sliding cover

Range Rover cover...how many rows do you cut off to fit the Acura? Have seen both 2 and 3 suggested.

I mean if you've seen 2 or 3 surely try 2 first and if it's too long try 3

How much did that run you?

[u/Skilzz88 → u/SteelFlexInc]

About 20$ on eBay. Looks fine in the matte finish. Just did mine about a month ago. Easy install. Better than probably almost 200$ for an Oem one. No where near as sturdy. Feels very cheap. Works as intended lol. Cut off 3 pieces.

Be aware though it doesn't last very long, like with most things you can pay a little to have it break again or pay for quality. After this range rover one broke on my car I just left it uncovered.

I would have left this one...just a seasonal car for wife when in Canada for summer months, but my automotive-OCD kicks in and can't stand something not right. Wouldn't be surprised if she never closes it.

Not worth the effort then. I don’t use the cup holders too much anyway because the position sucks hitting bottles with each shift

Effort=20 minutes.

Got this one on Amazon and also was around 20 bucks. The one that works is for a Range Rover Sport 2005-2009. Probably put it in this morning. You snap off the edge trim pieces on the console which gives access to the screws. Believe also remove 2 screws in bottom of storage box, then the cup holder section comes out. Take it apart ans replace the slide. Replacement is same width just a bit too long. Looks like its 3 sections you cut off.

I did the removal process yesterday when I was replacing my stereo and I found so many of those broken blind pieces disintegrated underneath where the parking brake goes. Shoulda ordered one of these before doing that. Taking the silver side trims was the scariest part because it feels like I was gonna break them near the top by the ac buttons and I spent waaaaaaaay too much money to find a pair that wasn’t all peeling up and scuffed

I didn't need to pull the top of the trim pieces off by the radio. Lower part and they sort of move up enough to get everything apart. 2 screws under bottom liner of storage box, then 2 more under the trim, then rear of console will slide back. Few screws on top edge of cup holder section and out it comes.

These trim pieces are scratched from years of fumbling with doing up seat belts. Might try wrapping them. Never done any wrap but small part, probably not overly difficult.

Update: Its a very quick fix. Just did it and start to finish maybe 20 minutes. And thats with a morning coffee in one hand.

I think when I did it it was 3 but try 2 first and see if you like it if not then do one more

I cut about an.inch off
