Installing a Cup Holder

Model: Mercedes Sl MK 5, R129 - Years 1989-2001
Part: Accessory kit

Inside the glove compartment located in the center console, just behind the ashtray, you can install a useful accessory: the cup holder. It is a bracket designed to hold two cups, but it is advisable that the cups have lids; otherwise, the contents may spill at the first bump. This holder features a retractable mechanism that is quite intricate. By pressing in the center, it rises from the glove compartment and simultaneously rotates to position itself. To close it, simply press down again until it locks into place at the bottom of the compartment.
