Instructions for Removing the Cup Holder

Model: Mazda 3 MK 2, BL - Years 2009-2013
Part: Center console tunnel

In the central tunnel of the car model in question, just near the handbrake lever, there is an integrated cup holder that can accommodate two bottles and/or two glasses. If you want to carry out a thorough cleaning of the interior, it is advisable to remove this holder to wash it properly (as should be done with the air vents). Start by disengaging the fastening clips around the edge of the holder, beginning from the side of the handbrake and then disengaging those on the driver's side, where more care is needed due to the thinner edge.
