Denali cupholder to SLT cupholder (center console)

[AmazinglySmooth]

I recently had my Denali in the shop and had an SLT as a loaner. I like the cupholder setup in the SLT much better. The Denali has fold over lids that waste a bunch of storage space whereas the SLT has a large opening with cupholder inserts (and others, I'd guess). Does anyone now how easy it would be to pop it out? Does anyone know the p/n's for this?

Is this it?

This picture seems to show the Denali style, but I want the SLT version.

If I'm not mistaken it's direct swap. Taking them out is easy they just pop off. Or it did on mine.

Very easy to change out. Just pull up from the rear. The front has tabs that slip into a slot but the rear has clips that pull away.

Here is an example of what you are looking for.http://www.ebay.com/itm/GMC-YUKON-C...&fits=Model:Tahoe&hash=item3a793ac26e&vxp=mtr

I have seen some complaints that the one you want to go to does not hold smaller cups as well with the little rubber tabs and the cup can fly out if you have to hit the brakes or swerve hard.

That eBay listing is too high, IMO. I found another site:

I think #8 includes everything. Am I reading it wrong? I've never bought parts online.

 

[NathanJax]

yes #8 includes everything. It's like $50 from the dealer


I had the same issue with the Denali cupholders so I did this...

It is amazing how they waste so much space in the denali/LTZ, two cups and pocket change is all that fits, neither me or my wife owns a pair of sunglasses that fits in the sun glass holder
I had no idea it would be this inexpensive, I am doing this.

I've got wood.

I just did the opposite and went from the SLT to the Denali cup holders lol. Thanks for the hook up Nathan!

Denali Cup Holder

Very easy to change out. Just pull up from the rear. The front has tabs that slip into a slot but the rear has clips that pull away.

Can you give me a few tips on how to remove this section that has the clips? Start in the back and then the sides? Pry from the top with a screwdriver? I just don't want to break it. Thanks.

So is everyone pretty much in agreement that the open cup holder is better than the LTZ/Denali covered cup holder? I have an '08 Tahoe LT and had been kind of considering dropping the LTZ cup holders in because I don't like to be able to see all my spare change sitting there. I'd rather see the change than lose a lot of storage space, though. These things look a little too expensive to be worth it, too.

Did you end up doing the switch? If you did, would you be interested in selling the old one? They're 180+ shipping on eBay lol

Nathan, has anyone done pictures of popping these out?

the LTZ deal is beyond useless.

we had an LT, and we had both cellphones, and both sunglasses in there...was awesome.

now, my wife stuffs my glasses down in that tiny hole, and it takes both pinkie fingers to dig them out.

I purchased a set from someone here on the Forum with the intent of swapping out my Denali setup to the LT setup. I too, prefer the open tray to the flip up compartments.

It's still in the box and I've put the project on hold, so if you are interested, PM me.

just pull up on the back of the cup holder area and then it slides up and back

Looks like it worked perfectly....

 

[ajb1205]

Does anyone have the LT setup that they would like to part with...or trade for the LTZ style? It has been one thing I have hated in the wife's Tahoe LTZ from day one.

 

[tonaaayyyy]

Which one is the ltz style setup? This?
