baz938 · 02-21-2008, 07:11 PM

so i keep a can a new car smell in a bottle in my cupholders. Somehow some way i manged to close it and now it wont open? I cant live without my cupholders!!!

yoshiod9 · 02-21-2008, 07:15 PM

lol. is there a question involved in this post or is this just you complaining about what you did? :)

my suggestion would be to just try to open the damn sliding door by jiggling it-- the bottle is probably sticking on one of the plastic slats/grooves. good luck, man!

baz938 · 02-21-2008, 08:30 PM

lol yea my question was how do i open it...i tried hitting the top of the cupholders...slamming my brakes...anything to get the bottle to move wit it wont.. every time i open it, you can see the sliding door being pushed up...is there anyway to get to it from underneath?

P1ng · 02-21-2008, 08:32 PM

u SOB!

***vit0*** · 02-21-2008, 08:42 PM

get something to push from the bottom? or can u crack it a little?
so you can i dunno wire clothes hanger or something like that?

yoshiod9 · 02-21-2008, 09:18 PM

the only thing i can think of doing is buying a very thin cut of acrylic so that you can hopefully get something smooth on top of the bottle so that you can just get the door opened. after getting the compartment open, remove the freaking bottle! lol.

(if i was 30and made 100grand lol)

I eneded up fixing it by pulling the sliding door back as hard as i could until the cap of the can broke...not damage wat so ever to the sliding door even though it looked like it was ready to snap at the point of contact with the can...maybe this plastic aint so cheap after all...

It must of heard you threaten it by claiming you'd buy a new car if possible.

i like to hide my air freshener where it cant be seen - i usually stuff it on the fllr behind the center console, that way the floor vent hits it and makes gooood smelling air and you cant see any bright pink or other unsightly pretty perfume bottles.

If you want to show off your cool air freshener thats your choice - just my opinion
