Reddit mentions: The best automotive cup holders

> Then I want to get some slide-under cupholders like these :https://www.amazon.com/Brybelly-Slide-Under-Stainless-Holder/dp/B00911UXJ2?th=1 so that people can put their drinks on the table without worrying about spills.

So I looked all over for cupholders that clip, including the ones you posted above.

The issue I ended up having was that those specific ones are very small and finding large ones like that are almost impossible. The second issue is that if they are not attached then they can easily slide out from under the topper. I bought three different clip-style cupholders that were the best I could find and all three ended up being sub-par and not practical.

I ended up using these and they are absolutely perfect. Super sturdy, large and they can be placed on the table. You can even use them with wine glasses.

Zero spills so far after more than a dozen game nights.

vent mounts are garbage across the board. and yeah, you won't find one that fits the circular style mini vents. cd player ones are good position, but i find it interferes with my shifting, autos might be ok.


I like the scorshe magic mount (amazon) for my phone holders. i have 4 or 5 of them now, oldest being 2.5 years on my dash above the right center vent on my r53, daily driven outside parking new england weather and regularly autocross and track. never had the phone fall off.


there are 2 cupholders for the mini, 1 is the "mug holder" that is metal high on the passenger center column and works well. one of the only cars that fits a full size nalgene actually. here's an amazon link, but they're cheaper at other stores like outmotoring.com or minimania.com. Also try northamericanmotoring.com and find one used in the marketplace. or fbook marketplace for a mini group.


the other cupholder is all plastic and mounts low on the column. here's an amazon link, but they're cheaper elsewhere


There's 2 armrest options as well, i like the metal one with the flip instead of slide lid, but the slide lid or "ultimate arm rest" i think it's called might offer an additional cupholder.

Thanks! We had a lot of fun building it, and even more fun using!

I don't remember the exact play area size, but the table top itself is exactly 4' x 6', and the rail is about 5" wide. That makes it about 3' 2" x 5' 2".

I can double check for you when I get home.

As for the cup holders, those can be had here:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000EDQR4G/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1


For wood, I just got the cheapest 4'x7' sheeted plywood I could find. I think it was 3/4" thick.
The Rail was made out of the 'select pine' they have at menards. These are pre-planed boards and are generally quite nice. These run a little bit more expensive than un-planed 2x4s and 2x6s. Also note that the pre-planed boards will be smaller than the un-planed variants.
The skirt was made from basic 2x4s and the legs were made with 4x4 posts. I would've saved a couple dollars here had I got the a longer post, but they wouldn't fit in my car so I had to get 2 8 footers instead.


I wanted to keep my design as simple and straight-forward as possible. Be sure and post some updates if you make one!

This is a cupholder liner for the Tesla Model 3. If printed in a semi-flexible material, like TPU or Ninjaflex, the side blades will bend to firmly hold the inserted item.

(If printed in a non-flexible material, the side blades will break or prevent you from using the thing. Or, they'll securely hold a very weirdly shaped other thing.)

Also, the shape of this may be useful to other modelers, since (after a ludicrous number of attempts) it is a fairly precise fit for the interior of the cupholder area. If folks are interested and let me know, I'll throw the core dimensions together on a drawing, or in a STEP, or some such.

If you are printing this for yourself, great. If you are considering having this commercially printed, it may be more cost-effective to just order this very similar commercial product.

I may tweak this to add anti-suction dimples in the bottom, or to adjust the fin geometry, but I want to live with it for a few days before tweaking. I appreciate feedback from users/makers.

And finally, if you've read this far, you may be interested in my other Tesla (or non-Tesla) designs.

I found the horn to be way too wimpy so I replaced the stock one with this PIAA pair.

I also didn't want to screw my plates straight through the front bumper or directly against the back bumper so I put on license plate brackets that I think make it look much nicer.

I took the advice from a bunch of folks on the subaruoutback.org forums and put in a new 19mm sway bar. It was a pretty easy install, but honestly I can't tell if the drive is better or it's just a placebo effect.

Then just a couple of simple quality of life things just because:

• ProClip phone mount that I put right over the hazard lights button. No issues with the EyeSight that I've experienced.
  
• Water bottle cup holder adapter to hold my 40 oz hydroflask
  
• Seat gap filler because my phone likes to slide under the seat

I was about to buy the IL console, then I found an old post from this forum recommending this instead. It costs $8.

Arrived last week, and I've been using it ever since. Works great, looks pretty good, and I like the $292 discount.

gift from the girlfriend. can be found on amazon here. There's inserts for the cupholders, the bottle holders in the doors, and underneath the cupholder unit as well. Super inexpensive and they match really well with the interior.

For cup holders I put 2 of these in and haven't looked back. Went in super easy and have held anything and everything cup wise iv needed.

Would recommend this...

https://www.amazon.ca/Front-Holder-Upgrade-FGT-Motorsport/dp/B017AC5KEG

So useful in my old e39,
works pretty well with the interior too.

(Just find it on e-bay for $20 instead of the one I linked)

It was fairly east to install. They glue onto the bottom of the cup holders pretty easy. I love em so far let's see how it holds up with the hawaii heat

Waiting on leds, glove and tailgate inserts. Next big purchase are some side step bars and Trd exhaust

I couldn’t find anything like that in Wally World, so I bought this from Amazon.

Custom Accessories 91125 Black Seat Wedge Cup Holder https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000WEPI4M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_xgR4Ab7SYH8DD

It works pretty dang good!

Here’s the cupholder inserts i’m using, they’re holding up amazingly and add a nice touch to my interior, they would fit yours nicely especially with them being black to match the interior

I have manual steering in my mustang and my f250 so I have a big steering wheel and I’ve smacked it a few time making a quick turn. Lol

This is the one I bought. It was $4 for two at autozone

I also saw this one looking for it that looks pretty cool too.

Pretty much just bought some foam/cupholders on amazon and thanks

BottlePro Cup Holder Adapter

>I’ve got another friend who sleeves literally every game he owns as he’s very much a collector as well as player. He’s a super nice dude, and when I first started playing with him, he would politely ask everyone to wash their hands after eating. He would explain that it’s because he’s a collector and likes to keep his games like new. If your friends are respectful people, they will not have an issue with you requesting to keep your games pristine.

Sounds a lot like me. I have a lot of old, expensive to replace games so I sleeve everything out of habit and because Mayday sleeves are so cheap. Sure, they may not be 100% consistent, but I would rather protect my games than risk them getting damaged by a spill, and nobody in my group is competitive enough to try and cheat with uneven sleeves.

I also have invested in wide bottom cup holders like these which makes the likelihood of a spill far less because you cannot knock them over.

thanks, but my dad bought 2 of these for his and mine. It has adhesive and sticks to the tray where the front cupholders are. Very solid solution.

I bought this:

https://www.amazon.com/Smart-Kup-Nalgene-bottles-competitors/dp/B018USPD82/ref=pd_sim_263_3?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B018USPD82&pd_rd_r=EB4HKZDVZRV2694NBTM4&pd_rd_w=HtVyL&pd_rd_wg=8M6BW&psc=1&refRID=EB4HKZDVZRV2694NBTM4

It didnt sit tight in the cup holder so I used some weather stripping i had laying around, like this:

Works great

I bought this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FPXV5G/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The diameter of the cups it can accommodate is somewhat limited, but it's been the best $12 I've spent on my '96.

It’s actually a 3rd party accessory, I bought it off Amazon. Here’s the link for anybody interested!

BottlePro

Thanks. Nice upgrade for about $10. Here’s some more pics.


cup holdies


I would’ve liked to mount them a little further back and higher but that would be right in the middle of the artwork.


Link to the ones I bought.


The same ones are sold by a few companies under a few names but WM seemed the cheapest. Also comes in multiples colors!


Heres the same one at Amazon.

I literally bought the same car on Saturday and am loving it. The eyesight has made my commute something to look forward to.

As for add ons, I'm keeping it simple at first and ordered cup holder inserts with orange trim off Amazon: https://smile.amazon.com/Custom-Holder-Accessories-Impreza-Crosstrek/dp/B078NZ28YQ

Did you name him yet? My guy is Otto

I have a 2012 like 200i and I use one of these on the floorboards between my feet. I currently use some of that no-slip carpet grippy stuff to hold it in place, but I also use my feel to hold it.

I plan to install some heavy duty Velcro this summer.

So far I have used it for the 30 oz starbucks cold cups which has been very successful except for once when the cup flew out on a weirdly banked corner.

http://www.amazon.com/Bell-CO51-Octopus-Cup-Holder/dp/B000FW2MC2

Mine came with something like this, although mine is a bit nicer I think. Previous owner put it in i guess .

I use it every for a travel coffee mug and fold it flat when a passenger gets in. It's attached to the bottom of the plastic console lip where the passengers left knee would be

It's still $300 for cupholders. Not only that, they look like the cupholders from a mid 90's Pontiac. Two permanent bulges right next to the shifter.

Don't kid yourself, nobody is buying that monstrosity for the longer glove compartment. It's all for the cupholders.

Here's an infinitely better option. It's even adjustable so it doesn't just hold 12oz cans:

Different strokes for different folks.

Less than $11 on Amazon or one of these but they are pretty expensive.

I do this. It wedges between the side of the passenger seat and the centre console. Works perfectly.

Got mine from amazon, best mod I ever did.

I use one of these next to my bed since we don't have room for a bedside table. Works like a charm as a shelf

I put these fold-down cup holders in mine.

I attached it to the side of the center console on the passenger side so it sits just to the left of the shifter. It works great actually.

Check these out. I have the older version in my 3rd Gen auto transmission and leave my hydro flask 32 oz bottle in there a lot. It also fits a classic ceramic coffee mug pretty well.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M028L5E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_L6WFDbNB9AJMY

More or less joking since I haven't done anything yet, but since y'all are interested, these are what I got.

I bought this one for my 2015 Prius

http://www.amazon.com/Carmate-Toyota-Prius-Holder-Black/dp/B007T3C004

but this yours is a better design.

Those are what I have and they are wonderful. When they are folded up they aren't that noticeable. They have different colors available.

I bought this wedge cupholder and its been amazing. Its a little harder for passengers to buckle their belt in but really not that bad.

http://www.amazon.com/Custom-Accessories-91125-Black-Holder/dp/B000WEPI4M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1373517649&sr=8-1&keywords=wedge+cup+holder

Since you have an import I’m not sure what your center console looks like. If it’s the same as the US 2010, an insert is available for the open shelf below the gearshift that includes two cup holders. It’s rather shallow though, so only good for cans and small water bottles. Check it out for cheap on Amazon, so might as well give it a try.

20$ on Amazon, this should be standard!

I'm sorry, I've only used the stock one, and its the perfect size for my phone too. I used to know a guy who had something like this one and he said it worked fine in his R50, but that was several years ago.

still sucks, but its better than spilling coffee all over yourself.

They are actually folding marine-style cupholders I got off amazon. they work GREAT - and fold out of the way when you don't need them :)

The ones I'm using are https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000Q86IQQ/ -- but there are lots of similar ones there too...

I’ve used this with several strips of double-sided 3M VB tape. Works a treat.

Camco 44044 Adjustable Drink... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000EDQR4G

Still not a fan of the can placement, it means you have to prissy-finger the shifting like this. If you don't tend to have a passenger you can mount one of these folding cup holders on the right side of the center console and still have it in easy reach.

You could try something like this:

Like this one? (Edit: the product I'm linking to is for the storage area underneath the shifter. I haven't seen anything for the storage area under the armrest)

amazon. Get ready for your world to change.

Yeah, it should have the sliding middle 2 cup holder. If you side it back and lift the arm rest up, it should reveal a 3rd. The doors are bottle holders.

I usually tell my friends to hold onto their drinks :(

Otherwise you can buy one of these

I had one of these in my car for a while, worked great for when I was alone in the car, but if I have any passengers I'll make them hold my drink

I have the 2018 Limited, the center cup holders are small so I purchased this to help with larger-base bottles

Decades ago, when Big Gulps were popular and cup holders were not, these window-mounted cup holders were on everyone's car. They'd always let a bit of soda drop down the inside of the door, if I recall... No point for them now.

Also antenna decorations are mostly a thing of the past, as few modern cars have antennae.

This is the one I have, used the same one on my Audi and it lasted 2 years no problem. I took the screw out of the map netting and reused the same screw and hole for the cup holder turned out nice. It's on tight with only one screw in it
