don't worry is normal I already bough 2 pairs of cup holders and they are broke again I just give up spending $32+ every 2 months

Dude, they have a 2 year warranty. Keep your receipt and they will replace it for free for 2 years.

bigbacon · 06-19-2012, 07:08 PM

where did you find them for #32 bucks?

fercho · 06-19-2012, 07:37 PM

I didn't know they offered you warranty good to know!!

I believe I have mine still, PM if interested.

Side question - mine gets stuck in the closed position frequently. I am still under factory warranty (until fall) and got it replaced. It still gets stuck. Sometimes it magically pops open when I open or close the door (dont' know which). Any pointers?

yeah, kklin, apparently they are junk. Mine broke the other day, tried to hold a cup, the cup clasper wouldnt clasp. Then the thing wouldnt go back in its home.

Bad design?

This comes up regularly ...

The stock cupholders are not a great design. Mine work perfectly, but stay parked in the retracted position. Even if the retraction mechanism and ratcheting clamp worked well (which does not seem to be the case), having a full cup of 'whatever' (cold or hot) balanced tenuously that high over both my lap and some very expensive electronics is not something I want to risk - especially in a car that can change directions as readily as this one.

I have the Ultimate cupholders on both sides - a nicely finished stainless and black felt product at a reasonable price that keep the beverages low, easily accessible, and well secured. And though mostly out of sight, they look like they belong in the car - not something from the Walmart auto accessory shelf.
