Do I need to remove the old cup holder before installing this one?

Yes. The old assembly slides or unclips from the console cavity. Once removed, the new holder slides in and locks into the same position — no tools required for most installations.

Will this fit if my console trim is cracked or damaged?

The cup holder itself will fit the cavity, but if the surrounding console trim is warped or broken, alignment may be off. Inspect the console opening before ordering to make sure it's straight and undamaged.

Does this come with clips or fasteners?

The assembly relies on factory mounting points in the console. Verify your console cavity has the clip tabs intact — if they're broken, the holder won't lock into place securely.
