Slipping Cup Holder
The cup holder in my 2001 won't stay closed. I've searched for info on this forum and haven't found anything. I've tried taking it apart but can't figure out how to tighten it. Has anyone else had this problem? How did you fix it? Here's a pic of the cup holder. After a few minutes of driving it pops out this far and stays there. - Brian

thats a new one to me...
Might try a junkyard cup holder, if it works you can swap the dash colored handle on the front so everything matches. That is what I did when I upgraded from my "cup ejector" in my 2000 to the same cupholder you have.

Waltdog, What do you want for the cup holder. I have a e99 and somebody said you can just change the front handle. I'd really like to have a cup holder that does its job!
Thanks Chet, Bonanza35

Waltdog, please pm me at home at ablesprinklercorp@charter.net. I'll be glad to pay the shipping, I can't wait to have a cup holder that works! Mine broke a while ago and I've spilled more cups out of it then I can remember, Thanks Chet
