Removing cup holder

[wrangler66]

Hello all. I'm new here. I have a 2000 Windstar and the paddles are broken off my front cup holders. How do I get the cup holder out of the dash so I can repair it?

I ussually just jank mine out, wiggle it up and down and pull a tiny bit... it ussually pops right out... But I recommend using Broncojoe's "real" way to do it.

Thank you very much. It was easy once I knew how. I epoxied the paddles back on and just hope they hold. We'll see. THANKS again.

If it breaks again, being weight-bearing I think it would, buy a replacement at a junkyard; in fact, I would bank one now!

I used super glue then put 2 part mixed epoxy over the entire area on both sides of the breaks then after that dried, I put JB weld over the whole area. I think its as strong or stronger than when new. Again, we'll see. Thanks
