armrest cup holder lid

**ExternalError** · Tuesday 10th July 2012, 17:11

Does anyone happen to have the volvo part number for the lid of the cup holder in the front armrest in a volvo s60 52 reg, its the one that seems to break on every single S60 ive looked at at the scrap yards.

Alternatley does anyone know of any decent after market solutions that replace the cup holder without replacing the center armrest.

Just sorting the little bits that need doing over the next few weekends and fitting my IMIV which hopefully should arrive tommorrow

What colour interior does yours have?

You can fit the entire centre console out of a later (2005 onwards) s60 or V70, this has the revised and improved cup holder cover.

Here's one that's listed on eBay...

Centre Console eBay linky

The lid pictured on ebay is retracted back, like a concertina garage door thingy.

If you find a black trim with silver inserts - let me know - 'cause I'm after one !!!

The part# you require is : 39852686 and it costs £84 from the dealer. You cannot buy just the lid, it comes as a complete cup holder unit that is screwed onto the entire center console, so removing the center console is the only way to replace your broken unit.

I'm looking for a beige/cream one! The one in the pic is too brown for my interior.

Thanks for the Part number, didnt think it would be that much, oh well guess ill bench and just live with it and just keep looking at scrap yards hoping that one managed not to break.

I was hoping it would be a simple 10-15 quid job like the head unit knob that was missing which cost me £2.80 from volvo, oh well.

thanks for the info though am very impressed with the help people are willing to give to a stranger like my self and it was nice to meet a few of you at the meet the other week even if i did have to go a bit early but i'll be looking forward to the next one.

The problem with replacing it like for like, is that you will still have the same poorly designed cover. One misplaced elbow by the passenger or driver and you're back to square one with a broken lid.

The centre console from a 2005- IS the way forward.

Its an easy fix though, if its just the pin thats snapped at the bottom of the arm!

Drill a hole where the pin used to be (same size) and get a large headed tack or nail and cut it down to the size the pin used to be and then push that through the hole youve drilled

I did that on my old 53 S60 and it worked a treat.

Glad it worked for you. However, normally its the plastic hinge that breaks and the only fix is a complete new unit.

You shouldn't be so clumsy then! lol. I can't quite see how it's so easy to break. Lean't on mine quite a few times and it's ok. Can only imagine it breaking if your some what 'Larger framed!?' (put politely)
