In-Dash Cup Holder Repair? V70-XC70 2001

Recently, my wife and I took my V70 on a trip to Canada. The Brick did well on the trip, hauling two bikes plus luggage internally, and making it from Cincinnati to Syracuse on one tank of gas (and doing so in style).

My wife took her shift driving, and thus got the right to one of my favorite features: the in-dash cup holder. Though it wasn't what made me buy the car, it is discovering the feature that made me say aloud, "this is my car." Naturally, other features have taken priority (heated seats, hidden compartments, the ability to carry two bikes internally).

She wanted to swap from her drink-from-lunch to a soda we picked up. The latter was in a bigger cup. She wasn't aware that to "expand" the holder, you needed to push it in then back out again--she pulled the arms apart instead. Crack.

I've read allusions to repairing this on the board, but can't find the details. So;

1. How difficult is a repair/replacement? Which is needed?
2. How much does the part run? Where can one find it?
3. What references/instructions are needed?

Thanks for the help--and listening to my sad, sad tale.
