Checking if Repair is Possible

• The illustration shows a cup holder from a Rabbit. The work for a Tiguan cup holder is identical.

A partial replacement should only be done if servicing is not possible, for example, because components are too heavily deformed, broken, broken off or damaged in any other way and correct function of the cupholder can no longer be ensured because of this.

- Check all four cupholder mounting points - 1 - for damage.

- If a mounting point - 2 - is bent up sharply, replace cupholder.

• The cupholder should be replaced if there is any further damage to components that affects proper cupholder function.






Cupholder, Servicing

- Insert lower cover - 1 - over outer mounting pins - 2 - and - 3 - in cupholder.

- Position mounting pins - 4 - in front of mount - 5 -.

- Insert the upper section - 6 - over the pins - 7 - and mounting pins - 8 - in the cupholder.
