Yes, that little tower is the PITA location. You basically have to break that top of the little tower, to get those out and in, unless you did as I did.
The other tower one is tearing, I can see it in the pic, and so are the fingers at the very bottom right and very top right, in the pic.
Yes, it needs a bath in there, too!
I bought the fingers at ebay for $14.95 and free shipping. There is supposed to be 8 fingers and I received 9 fingers.

Can you point me to the seller..? I looked but apparently my eBay fu is weak.
What about melting the plastic welds out, and then pulling off the top..? Wouldn’t that work..? Although, I wouldn’t want to melt them too much, so they’d be visible from the top side either..

I don't think I am talented enough to melt the plastic weld and not screw it up. The fingers guy is: https://www.ebay.com/itm/202648127218
A new cupholder assembly was sold by a guy but many others have used units. The new one was $75 and the used ones are $40 to $45.

Thanks man. Damn, that’s ridiculous..! I was thinking of that but probably not for that amount…!

Sometimes items that are being sold also allow you to make a bid/offer and then wait and see if seller accepts the bid.

Well, if you pry it off just have some super glue handy lol. I fixed those "fingers" on the armrest in the 2nd row. That was fun.

Not even worth trying to melt it back. Once you break it off, those plastic fingers that were melted will be too short to remedy. Just glue it.

Again, an engineer designed this small plastic tower cap to be plastic welded instead of somehow allowing it to be snapped off. I know that the small plastic piece could fault at the snap place or get lost or whatever but until I went to replace the fingers, I had no reason to mess with it and that snap would have been pristine.
