Can anyone give me advice please ... the driver's side cup holder will not spring out on my 997.2 ... the pax one is fine ... any tricks of the trade to fix ?
 
Well .. yes and no , it depends on if the release mechanism has stuck or if the cup holder was shut with the holder still extended ( the bit the cup goes in is open ) .

For the later one then its basically the side of the holder jamming on the inner case ..

I use a plastic trim tool ( thin ) and lever at the side and at the top to try and close the holder .. then press it to release .. this all has to be rather gentle .

I do see it on serviceing when i check operation and tend to release it before telling the customer .. hence being gentle as i dont want to break it.

If your not happy doing this then i would expect any Porsche garage could quickly release it for you as its not uncommon shall we say.

If its totally jammed and your feeling adventerous then have a look here ..
