Revised Cupholder Assembly

1993-95 Cadillac Eldorado, Seville
Beginning in May, 1994, a new design cupholder was introduced into production of the 1994 Eldorado and Seville. Revisions to the cupholder include a
new latch and spring configuration, revised cupholders, revised door-to bun fit, leather wrapped bun (all leather for STS and ETC, combination
leather/vinyl for base Eldorado and SLS), and a variety of other modifications for enhanced performance. The revised cupholder was introduced as
supplies of the previous design cupholder were depleted; not all colors began production in May, 1994. All colors, however, were introduced by start of
production, 1995.
The new design cupholder can be identified as per Figure 1.
^
New design cupholders utilize two rubber flaps. Previous design cupholders used no rubber flaps.
^
The new design cupholder door, in the closed position, is recessed into the bun by about 5 mm (3/16"). The previous design cupholder door was
flush to the armrest bun.
^
The new design armrest bun assemblies use a smooth leather wrap on the top (and on the sides for ETC and STS). Previous armrest bun assemblies
were wrapped in grained vinyl.
The armrest cupholder assembly is serviced by three part numbers (per color), including the following:
1.
Cupholder (inner) - includes the entire cupholder mechanism which is mounted in the armrest.
2.
Bun (door upper) - the armrest bun assembly. Only the fully leather wrapped bun is stocked by GMSPO.
