Need help with second seat arm rest cup holder

[CharlesE]

When I open the cup holder in the second seat armrest it falls down to the seat, making the holder unusable Seems there should be a way to lock it in place.

I am not quite sure what you mean by "falls down to the seat". However, I do know that the position of the armrest is not ideal when the rear seatback is in the fully upright position. Have you tried reclining the seatback slightly?

When the cars come from the manufacturer the back seats are completely upright, if you will recline the seat on the drivers side back seat just a bit the arm rest will fall to it's natural horizontal position. Usually if there's someone in the seat they aren't going to sit completely upright they will recline the seat just a bit. So this is normal for this car.

This has also been discussed before in another thread.

Thank you. That solved my problem, would have been nice if owners manual had addressed this.
