SlickSpur Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Anyone else have an issue where the cup holder, underneath the pads, is split open? I can see the white paint below it, it's probably a 2 mm gap or so. Is this worth having them fix under warranty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FocuS Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 I would just remove the center console, clean up the seam with a razor and super-glue it....less hassle than going into the stealership! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlickSpur Posted April 12, 2011 Author Share Posted April 12, 2011 Well, the only reason I'm even bringing this up is because I have to go into the dealership tomorrow for some other small issue. Wondering if it's worth having them do it. Also, does anyone know where I can order another of those pads? It must have stuck to the bottom of someones coffee mug or something because it's MIA. And are they supposed to be glued down when you put them in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FocuS Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Mine was glued down from spilled coffee but I think they are just a tight fit...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlickSpur Posted April 12, 2011 Author Share Posted April 12, 2011 Ok, sounds like the reason it came out was relative to the thing splitting. It grew apart enough for the pad to be able to come right out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee07 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 A little off topic but Why didn't Subaru put some harder plstic stuff on like all four corners like most cars to hold your drink? It doesn't hold soda, bottle water or anything that size. I don't drink coffee or have a mug. Is there any aftermarket stuff I could buy or should I just stuff paper towels in there to hold it somewhat. It always slides around! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocHolladay23 Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Mine has done that before, push it together from the sides and it'll snap back together! (at least mine did) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] You want stickers? Hit me up here!!! You want a shirt? Hit me up here!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwaitt05gt Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 mine looks like that too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRSCobra Posted April 13, 2011 Share Posted April 13, 2011 Mine has done that before, push it together from the sides and it'll snap back together! (at least mine did) Mine was the same way. I took the console apart to see what was wrong and it just had come unsnapped somehow. Free fix, no parts needed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaloNHorns2002 Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Mine looks like that as well, I was planning on doing a spring deep-cleaning and taking the seats and center console out. I was gonna try to fix it then, now I know what to do! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stryker08 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 My '08 did the same about a month after I bought it. I thought something broke because I jammed so much stuff in there. Finally after over two years I stuck some coins under the mug separator thingy so it would stay in place and actually separate containers. That worked, but I'm going to try DocHolladay23's fix while I'm out there working on my seat buckle to get rid of the seat belt chime from hell.

SlickSpur Posted April 23, 2011 Author Share Posted April 23, 2011 Brought it to the dealership for something unrelated and they fixed it for me while I was there. There was something stuck down there, but I don't think that actually was the cause because it started slowly splitting more and more a few months after purchase.

kmallon0203 Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 That same thing has happened to my console. What I'm wondering is, did it happen again even after it was "fixed"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjweb Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 I would fix that ASAP or you could lose permanent value if that was ever reported to carfax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
