The in-dash cup holder on my car gets jammed stuck all the time, you have to bang it hard to get it to pop out, also it doesnt unfold properly!
Is there a fix to sort this?

Thanks
 
Is it sticky? Might just need a good clean if you've spilt a sugary drink on it. I've had this happen to me in another car before and it wouldn't unfold when it popped out - just needed a good clean!
 
Yup it's clean trust me I tried! It was like it when I got the car though
 
Might be worth taking out / taking apart then and seeing if you can diagnose the problem that way. Putting it back together again might just simply cure whatever is wrong with it - I can't speak from experience here though as I don't have one in my car. I'm pretty sure there's a guide on how to retrofit a cup holder though so if you do a search then that would be a good starting point on how to get it out
 
Yeah I had same problem when coke splashed over edge onto it!. Give it a good rinse with soapy water when it drys get a can of air (used to clean laptop keyboards etc) and spray hard and close to the joints etc. Works well now for me.
