I'm about to breakdown and buy the cup holders sold by Bill Jenkins to replace the "poor excuse" of cup holders in my 98.
Does anyone have a picture of these new cup holders?

Thanks,

Personally I've never had a problem with the left cupholder in the Contour. I never had a need to use more than one at a time in the front. I never drank anything more than medium sodas or 20-oz bottles. when I drove it.

This very beautiful SVT for sale on eBay has them.

Poor excuse for cupholders are the ones in the pre 98's... Replaced ours once and one of them is already breaking again

What!!! You mean you didn't like opening them and having them break into pieces?

ahah mine work fine (besides the fact that they only hold cans, cups from fast food places and my coffee thermos). people like to play with them though (push in...pop up...push it back in....) which drives me crazy.

I once saw a pre-98 single cup holder on ebay go for like 60 bucks! The upgraded cupholder add on thingy is a good idea, I've had more then a few drinks spill onto the floor.

I don't have a problem with my cupholders . They work well for holding little odds and ends things (like my work ID), since I don't allow people to drink in my car (I'm very anal about that) .

Seriously, I like the '99 cupholders like that eBay SVT has; I might get one of those.
