Yes; they are on the center console at the rear down by your feet. Push in the retangular panel and it will magically appear.

Probaly can't find them because they broke off already.

Why a driver need rear cup holders?

Yep; Mine has and did pretty much within the first year. Stupid design; it opens when someone kicks it and then gets stepped on by accident. Costs $165.00 for a new insert. Just stupid!

nismo87-

What year is your MO? If it is a 2006, 2007 or 2009 then the cup-holders are in the pull-down center-seat armrest.

Clarification - you can't find them in the vehicle, or you can't find replacements?

It's maybe changed over the years, but in my '06 there are two sets of cup holders in the back seat - one in the armrest (as pictured above) and one at the base of the center console (as also mentioned above).

If you're looking for replacements, the entire unit has to be replaced. The little clip cannot be replaced if that happened to break. If that's what you're looking for, I should be able to look up a part number for both because I had both replaced under warranty - I should have the invoice stashed in my records.

lol no i should've made it more clear...i know where they are but the ones that are on the bottom of the center console in the rear they broke like last week and i've been looking for them and can't find any online.....(not the ones on the back seat or in the center console for the driver and passenger). oh it's an '03 MO

**njjoe** · 06-15-2008, 03:07 PM

Now you tell us!

The MSRP on that part is $118!!

Is it really worth replacing?

If the answer is yes, then this outfit offers it for $85. Click Here

Bingo, I knew it. Sorry to hear that they broke. Amazing though my have not broke yet even with two kids (3 & 6) in the back.

Why are we NOT suprised?

Apparently your MO was not built in the normal fashion on an assembly line by hourly workers, but rather hand-crafted from selected parts by automotive engineers in a clean-room environment. That would explain the battery and now the cup-holders.

well fortunatley i haven't had any problems with my battery but i can understand the scientist working everything to perfection without any real tests....like perhaps kids jumping around or any other heavy stuff in the rear

I bought mine this year (2003) but the back seat had never even been used. WELL, I gave a couple of my frineds a ride home one night and I had left it out. They broke off both cup holder arms and even put the broken pieces in thier pocket so I didn't even know they were broke until recently

SO, I researched ALOT and it is too much of a pain and cost to replace (and get broke off again) in my opinion. I went through all of the ebay 2003 murano's that were selling used parts from a totaled out murano and I found one for $50 plus shipping (no thanks). Well, a light bulb went off in my head. I went to the local auto parts store and asked if I could take the grip (at the bottom type) cupholder out to my car to see if it works. Well Thank God it does and $5.89 later I have an adjustable cup holder in the rear again. I just replaced one for now because I barely use it back there, but it can fit two.
