Cup Holder solution ! (?!?)
This was in one of the previous threads, but no one commented. IT LOOKS PERFECT for my 95 E320 Cab. If I get no replies, I will "guinea pig" it. price is unbelievable!

Looks great! Buy one and let us know how it works out.

I have ordered
I have ordered and will report on the look and fit, before I install.
Anyone with knowledge of the bottom component of a 93 E320 center armrest (fiberboard?wood?foam? plastic?) please advise. THis unit mounts UNDER the armrest. Thanks |
Part delivered
I received the cup holder and it looks so capable...if not perfect...that I am surprised I haven't seen mention of it before. I'll photo and post tomorrow and detail install as well.

We need pics! :D

Pics soon
I need to convert the pix to fit this format size and haven't had time...but will. Or I will host them on my site andallow access. As they say in the Islands, "soon come, mon!"

Nice! I can't wait to see the installed pics :cool:

Posting pix
:mad:
OK. I have tried and tried to reduce image size in Photoshop to post pix here,but it seems too much trial-and-error...on reducing first image size and then quality. Can someone please give me a quick how-to or point me to a site that will tell me how. This is taking entirely too long for someone who is very computer savy. How do others do it? Thanks :confused: |
Install Pix!!!
OK, here are the long awaited Install pix for the cupholder.
Upon completion and re-thinking, I might attach with screws thru the provided holes as it should feel more solid feel. That is if I can buy another armrest for less than the price of a new car:p I hope this answers those who were as curious as I was...enough to be the guinnea pig: http://homepage.mac.com/bankshyde/PhotoAlbum3.html |
Looks good! I'm not so happy about having to sand the leather or screw through the armrest but I guess you have to screw the factory cupholders into the door panels anyways. :rolleyes:
I'm pretty sure I'm going to order one for my wifes E320 wagon with MB Tex but I'm not quite sure if I want to install one in my 190E Limited Edition with Leather. Let us know how you like it in "real world" situations. |

Does the kit come with screws? If you use screws, what would you be screwing into? I don't know what the armrest is made of. The website that makes the cupholder kit says that for proper use and installation, the UnderTray requires: A relatively flat, firm mounting surface at least 4" wide along a 10" length. At least 3" clearance underneath due to snap-down canholders. I'm not sure if I have 3" of clearance between where the cupholder mounts and that console / storage box underneath the armrest. Did you measure the distance, or have you tried putting a beverage or can in there? Also, what do they mean by "snap-down canholders"? |

1. Looks good! I'm not so happy about having to sand the leather or screw through the armrest but I guess you have to screw the factory cupholders into the door panels anyways
Don: I am not sure you have to sand the surface, but I did for grip. No screws come with the kit, but it feels like solid foam to me. 2. A relatively flat, firm mounting surface at least 4" wide along a 10" length. At least 3" clearance underneath due to snap-down canholders. Suginami: I measured and had no problems on my 95 E320 Cab. But I am tall and the seat is completely back and the backrest down a bit. But it works fine. 3. Also, what do they mean by "snap-down canholders"? Those are the WIRE supports. THey must be manually "snapped down". |
