Free cupholder clean up mod
Not sure if it's been posted here before but today I got tired looking at my peeling cupholder and decided to finally do something about it.
Tools: Heat gun Rubber glove 10 min of your time. Take the cupholder out of the car Remove the spring insert Heat up one place at at time with the heat gun and while the rubber coating is still warm rub it with your fingers to take it off. I found wearing rubber gloves really helps. End result is a brand new looking cup holder.

Has anyone tried with the grey colored cup holder? If so, does it look ok? I have my cupholder with scratches an peeling of on certain spots and it looks terrible...
Sorry my ignorance but by heat gun you mean a hair blower??
