Buying Parts...Need Assistance - Honda Prelude Forum

L-U-R-C-H · 02-02-2003, 01:30 PM

I am buying some stupid little parts from HondaAutomotiveParts.com and I was wondering just exactly what parts I am going to need. I have a 94 Style Console and the Cup Holder door is broken and won't shut. Here is a diagram from HondaAutomotiveParts:

Also, I am converting the "Nostrils" (those little vents on the front bumper next to the headlights) to the 94-96 ones. I am usure which part number this is as well. Can someone please point this out to me? Here is a diagram for that:

Thank you.

25-26 for the nostrils, and for the cup holder.. order #3

Thanks for the numbering on the nostrils

I don't need the entire cup holder assembly though. I just need some kind of pin that keeps the lid to stay closed...

i dont think you can buy the pats to fix the cup holder, you will either have to buy the entire thing or fabricate something yourself, or find someone willing to donate the parts you need

umm dont' you have the 94-96 nostrils. the pic in ur sig, has the double line which is what we have in the 94-96

Well, if you read the little caption below the sig picture, you would know.

ahhh i got it now, that is not ur car. hahah my bad

Why wont it close?

On mine I had a problem with the metal pin..

I used a paper clip and now it works.

I can't buy just the little parts to fix the cupholder? I don't need an entirely new one. Anyway, here is the part that is broken on the cupholder:

Anyone know what part I need?

Dukespeed · 02-06-2003, 06:43 AM

Mine did the same exact thing. I looked into getting it fixed it was like 75 bones from honda oem. You have to get the whole enchilada from them. The piece that broke is a pain in the b@lls to get back on as well believe me I tried. so try looking for one complete in a junk yard but they are real hard to find believe me. So I decided to take out the spring that kept the door up, haven't messed with it since. goodluck

honda R? I don't understand what you are talking about with the paper clip...

DOCSEEK · 02-12-2003, 06:43 AM

one end fits inthe lid and the other fits in behind the metal holder you take the screw out .....I tried to give the right size of how you have to bend the paper clip ...you can tell if it's the right size by how it closes.

That part is NOTORIOUS for faliure on 4th gens. I tried to rig one using a paper clip, it worked alright, but I got bored and took a nap before putting much effort into it.

L-U-R-C-H · 02-12-2003, 09:05 AM

I still don't understand how you guys have this paperclip rigged up. Can someone just post a pic?

WindyCitySI · 02-15-2003, 10:57 PM

Mine is rigged with a paper clip and works just fine.

ooooh man, tonight i was cleaning out my whole interior, and i saw something down there so i stuck a tiny screwdriver to try and pick it up, and this lil pin fell out. i about flipped out and fortunately it just popped right back in place, but i got lucky cuz it sounds like every1 has a problem with it
