Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums Modifications General Mods Cup Holder Revelation

Okay, i drink a soda (can or bottle) every single day on my way to work. Now the 99 svt and probably every other contour has raunchy cup holders. Twice yes twice my soda cans have tipped over and spilled every where during a turn!! Well i was cleaning up and decided to take out the rubber inserts to wipe under them. When i yanked out the left one a big chunk of plastic came with it... so now the cup holder is deeper. I tried to do the same on the right side but it didnt occur? Anyway ever since the left side has been deeper none of my sodas have spilled! Anyone else stumble upon this?

Right side is 2 small. but thats what i did for the drivers side. cut the bottem of the rubber insert and but it at the bottom and 3m taped the ring againt the ledge inside. works great plus you cant tell

I tried it on mine, but my large coffee still rattles about and spills.
I just use the rear cup holder instead.

Crazy cup holder, i'll tell ya what!

I wish I had a cup holder that wasnt broken so that I could spill stuff in it

The rubber inserts for my cup holders come right out. The one on the left is much deeper. I can't really complain tho. The Cup holder on my last car (92 Grand Prix) was the backside of the glove box door where there was a slight circular recession. But then again, if your driving, you're too busy to drink....right?

I converted mine to the late 99-00 style with the factory kit. It was about $12.00 to $15.00 at the time. Bill Jenkins sold a lot of them to us CEGers.

It fits all of the 98 and newer Contiques. It makes the cup holder taller. Basically you remove the rubber inserts and install the new taller thing that fits over both holes. As lousey as the original 98+ cup holders are, this is a huge improvement.
