| My recently acquired '94 Caprice wagon has NO cup holders! REALLY?! Geez! Don't think I could live without the Buick's center arm rest/ cup holder/storage capacity. Since both of my wagons have the same color cloth interior, I was thinking of swapping the center arm rests before I sell the Buick. So, before I go to the trouble of removing them, I was wondering if they are a straight forward swap. | |

| Easy switch, just remove 4 nuts and swap them.

| The buyer for your RM will be unhappy. They are not that expensive. You should try to find one. What color is your interior? | |

The easiest way is four nuts from the bottom. | |

| Thats strange that your Caprice doesn't have the cupholder under the AC controls.....you know the cupholder that bounces like hell and spills your drink all over the place!
I constantly find myself with my cup between my legs. Its easy to find, and it does not bounce as much.
I have had several sodas fall out of the holder and all over my front seat! Drives me insane. | |

| Maybe you didn't notice the pull out tier above the ashtray......It's okay for a small styro cup (1/2 full) as long as the road is smooth | |
