W124 Cupholder
 
I posted this over in the "Detailing and Interiors" but not getting much action!

Anybody have a parts car ('93-'95 E320) that has a functional door mounted cup holder they'd part with? The one on my passenger door is missing the arms that adjust to hold the cup. I'm thinking that even if someone has one that has a different color and such, that I could just take that part off it and surgically install it onto my cup holder?! Let me know if you do...Thanks. :)

Your cup holder isn't original by the way......

Thanks for the link to these cup holders. They look really sturdy and secure. I do not like the color choice, black! (Did I miss other choices of colors?)

I suppose they could be 'dyed'...:confused:

Will they hold glasses too? I have such problems pouring the wine at 200 kph without worrying about the glass tipping over.

Any advice gratefully received.

They have a flap inside to hold smaller bottles, very practical.
I use them for 15 years, still working like new.

I use mine to hold the jar of Grey Poupon while I'm multi-tasking with the sandwich in one hand-the condiment-spreader in the other, the BlueTooth poked in my good ear, my left knee manipulating the steering wheel from the 6:30 position and my right foot regulating the pedal as I'm glancing at the GPS to be sure I'm at the right speed (the speedometer isn't functioning quite right) as I travel the open Interstate in Western Wisconsin... ;)

I call B.S. on this. I happen to know Wisconsinites do not use condiment spreaders and in fact, usually do not know how to use eating utensils! Whaddya expect from the land which invented the "spork"? I also call into question the fact you can read a clock. You MUST be a transplant! P'rolly some Michiganonian who got lost one night!:P

Maybe a "Camel bag" would be more practical.
CamelBak | Antidote Water Reservoir - Bite Down & Hydrate
Also easy to put the ice cubes in.
