Newbie with first question, E500 cup holder.
 

Just got a 2004 E500 and everything is perfect with only 77K miles except the cup holder is broken and wont extend out.

I tried pushing the button and pulling up at the same time but there must be a trick to it?

Well after 5 weeks and no help here I was able to remove holder and found the original spring was missing. Went and bought cheapy spring and works fine now. Researching this elsewhere showed its a common problem. Surprised no one here knows about.:confused:

I have the same problem, so can you please tell me how you finally got it out so that you could replace the spring?

Thanks for your help!
