Center Console Cup Holder Sliding Cover - Replacement?

[spongerich]

My cup holder is missing the little sliding cover. I bought a replacement cup holder assembly, but I'm not relishing the idea of disassembling the entire vehicle just to install it.

Has anyone replaced just the sliding cover?

I was looking at my new cup holder and it looks like I might be able to work the cover out without breaking it.. I was thinking of soaking it in some very hot water for a bit to make it a little more flexible.

I really don't want to break this one since replacements are pretty pricey.
