Mystery part identification - center console parts?
 
Hi folks. Long time since I've posted, but while trying to fix an AC drain issue, I found these parts floating around inside the center console underneath the cup holder area. Does anyone know what these are?

Sorry, it's been a while linking to images. The image link is above.

Pictures don't display for me. Maybe it's your flux capacitor?

These are pieces from center console cup holder. See picture.

Those pieces are the spring loaded cup 'nubs' that indent when a cup is inserted, and if the cup or container is wiggled/slightly rotated carefully, allow for the cup to be pulled out.

I have no idea how they go back in. Try Search...still have mine, and they still work.

3 per cup holder hole, as shown in axgordon's photo.

And, the OP's photo opened for me...

Ah...make sense that I found them under the cup holders. Thanks again axgordon and motordavid.

Haha. I found th same things. You don't need them I guess

They make replacement ones that have a flange preventing them being pushed in.

+1. The OP found 4 of 6, so 2 are still in place, or missing elsewhere.
