The pop-out 2-drink cup holder in the back of my car has broken. The dealer wants near $100 to replace it! Is this something I can do myself? I cannot seem to locate the part number for this item. Thanks!

This is when you call your local junk yard. Excuse me, auto recycling center. Don’t buy a new part, buy a used part for your used car.

You can do it yourself. The likely case is there are a few screws holding it in place that get exposed when it is open.

Try ebay:
