Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Any consensus on the best cupholder solution is for the 1st gen 986?
This whole holding my coffee in between my knees while I drive to work thing is getting old quick, lol.
Well, this is my first 986, I have a suspicion that it will not be
THE
986. I'm going to try and baby it, but I'll save the true anal retentiveness for the S when I get around to it.
I bought one of these on eBay, the guy 3D prints them. It looks good and it works. It doesn't hold the small plastic bottles of soda very well but it does hold a McDonald's cup of coffee, which is most important.

I'm an idiot. I could print that in about 45 minutes. Never thought of using the ashtray location as a mounting point. (I have three 3d printers.) Geez, for that price I might have to design my own and start selling them. It probably takes about an hour and $0.19 in materials.
here is another one.

I made one that fits the pure leaf tea's since that is all I drink anyway. If anyone wants one made or either of those let me know.
I use this as well. It holds the big iced tea cups from Dunkin or Timmys (I wish we still had them around here
). But with the big cups it kind of rubs on the back of your throttle leg. Big cups work better in the passenger footwell. Unless the wife is with me then that's where her purse always ends up.
My wife and I both like to take a drink along when we take trips in the Boxster so my solution was to make a open cell foam insert for the storage bin between the seats. Works well for us...
You can see how I made it here -
