You need to remove the whole console. I had to do it some times ago as I broke the plastic curtain on the top of the cup holder.

Break the rest of the tabs off and install the new updated ones, you can do this without removing the center console or anything.

This is exactly what i did to fix mine!

Do you have a part # or pictures of the retrofit? I'm missing 4 pressure "fingers" on mine and would like to replace them. It hasn't bothered me but I like to keep things in good working order.
