2002 A4 cupholder
 
the cupholder that slides out of the dashboard just above the radio has
to be a joke, right? i mean unless mine isn't unfolding correctly,
there is no way you can put a drink into it. am i missing something?
it just sort of slides out and creates a very shallow tray with no
upward support for the drink.

I bet your's isn't unfolding properly. If it was, the cup would be easy to
put in the hole :)

Sounds like the frame isn't popping up. The upper section raises up a
bit - the part towards the dash goes a little higher than the part away
from the dash. It should do that when it opens up. It's actually more
stable than it looks when it works properly. But still a terrible
location.

Can you pull it out further by hand?

Or are you trying to put a supersize-me type of cup in there? Those
cupholders were designed for typical Euro size cups.

Cheers,
Pete
