[97powerstroker]

im sick and tired of these cup holders,they have got to be the worst design ever,so not thinking i se my 32oz drink in there and take off,im headin to make a left and the light turns yellow so i take off around the corner and ther she goes.a fresh 32oz coke flys over at the passenger door and splat,all over the door and floor who thought of making these holders a inch deep and 4 inches wide? what an idiot.has anybody found a replacement or some kind of fix for them,maybe like a new tray or something?

I thought the early 99's were bad. I lost my soda while crusing down the railroad track . Can't get a smoother ride than that.

Must be a way strap that soda down. Use one of those silly straws.

I ditched my center seat altogether and built a wooden console with deeper cup holders. Really, who would be dumb enough to sit there with a 5 speed?

I agree, I lost my tea yesterday.

Bottled water or don't drink and drive.

I just use bottles and lay them under the folded down console of the center seat. and use the cup holders for the napkins.

hi 97powerstroker, Funny this should come up today, i love that old 96 i have but the cup holder is crap .So just by chance i was going by the plumbing dept at Lowe's and saw a reducer coupling 2-3'' seems to work OK , but i have to say i haven't given it a fair test ..

I may have found a >partial< solution to the PIA "Cup Thrower" thing. For 2 Travel Cups anyway ?

Found 4, flat, 2" refrigerator magnets.. glued 1 to the bottom of each cup, one to each Cup Thrower place.

The magnets are not very strong but just strong enough to give a little added stability. A bit of a push with yer thumb... Yer, Good To Go.

Also Tack glued some of that Non-Skid rubber mat stuff down, on the Thrower places.. Seems to help too.

NO... It's just when yer Retired.. You have MORE time to Fret and Ponder over things that Pizz you off.

Those "Things" usually lead me into the Research, Design, Development and in the end.. Production (fer Cheap).. of all manner of Widgetry

I've had scalding hot black coffee spill many times in mine. My band-aid fix is to shove paper napkins under and around the cup for a more secure fit...but still it's never really secure.
