Broken Cup Holder
So, the my cup holder only opens halfway now -- not enough to get a cup in there. It looks like one of the rails is bent or off its track or something. Does anyone know how to get the console open so I can fix it? I can't seem to find documentation about this anywhere on the Internet. Thanks!

Suspect Dealership
It's a 2001 CL TYpe-S. It's still under warranty, but the Santa Monica dealership is saying that it might be broken because of a pen that made its way into the hinge area. I highly doubt that, and suspect that they just don't want to take the time to fix it (they told me that it couldn't be done on a Saturday -- I'd have to leave the car there during the week, which I can't do due to work). Also, I can forsee a scenario where I do leave the car with them, and then they say there was a pen in there (when there's not) and charge me a lot of money. Sigh.

Cup holder
It's a 2001. I know there must be a way to open up the whole middle console of the car -- that's what the dealership's gonna do. I wish I could find some documentation that shows how to do that...
