Cup holder does not stay at the set cup size. ie: adjust it to fit a cup and then drive the car and instead of being snug on the cup it is now loose and the cup has spilled. Anyone have similar problem with the cup holders? Any solution beside buying a new assembly? Thanks
Cup holders are junk. Buy an after market product that attaches to your console and never look back.:drivingskid:
Hands down the worst cup holders in the history of cup holders. Thankfully I have no plan to ever put a beverage in them.
It's actually a shame because the engineering that went into them is actually quite unique. It's just that they are so unstable and with anything in them at all, you should plan on a spill. Used them once in 10 years with a plain old bottle of water and even that was too scary.:cheers:
Your cup holders still work? I thought it was a given that they've all broken by now.
Have you checked yours for cracks? A crack could easily cause your symptoms. My driver's-side cupholder has been glued back together twice and is presently reinforced with a bunch of heavy wraps of electrical tape. It won't retract, but at least still firmly holds a can of soda. The electrical tape helps quite a bit to hold it in place, too.
Another option is to use a thick foamie to pad out your drink so that it fits snug even fully extended.
I used my Rube Goldberg cup holders the first week. Went and got some that I could clip under the edge of the console and the drink sits in them on the floor.
I use the
Ultimate Cup Holder
had them for about 5 years.
I have a set of these also and really like them. The only slight problem is that I have them set as close to the front of each seat as possible, so whenever anyone wants to move the seat forward I have to move the cupholder first. No biggie, and the positives far, far outweigh this slight negative.
Meeting room in Stuttgart, Schwieberdinger strasse....
Marketing guy says: "Der amerikanische Markt verlangt, dass wir Becherhalter haben!"
Porsche Engineer replies: "Becherhalter sind dumm!"
Marketing guy replies: "Gib mir nur verdammte Becherhalter!"
Porsche Engineer walks off, mumbling under his breath...:"Dummer Amerikaner. Kaffeetrinken in einem Porsche...".
And this is the story behind the idiotic 987 cupholders....
