After replacing one under warranty, dealer wanted something around $100 for the next one. I decided to leave it broken. Now it doesn't break any more! These things are half-useless anyway, so paynig $40 for the part seemed wastefull to me, but if you want you can buy the piece and replace it yourself saving some $$ over dealer installation. It is very easy to replace (a few torx screws). In my experience the only thing that drink holder held was a soda can, everything else was hoplessly unstable. Oh, well, at least the car functions well as a... car, so I can live without the cafeteria option.

Good luck and if you find something that actually works as a cupholder, let the board know!
