its held down w/ CLIPS that are molded onto the back of the
color matching (soft) pad.
stick a thin screwdriver inbetween the pad and the armrest on the
outside edges...the clips are VERY stiff ! once you see the white molded
clips push them toward the inside of the armrest/cupholders and pull up
on the pad.
ill buy you a beer if you can get the pad off w/out breaking an of the
clips....i broke two...but there are so many the pad is still held down
tightly afterwards.
once the pad is off theres limited access...you can drill some holes
for access (in the areas that will be covered up by the pad, once its
re-installed).
the way the cup holders are molded theres not alot of area
to work w/.
