where can i find the aftermarket cupholders that we put in our 98+s? i asked at the dealer and they said they had never heard of it. i think the guy at my old dealer gave me a quote on one at one point.

The "new" style cupholders are available from Ford for 1998 and up Contours and Mystiques. They fit into your existing cupholder, making them taller and sturdier. Part number is XS2Z-5413562-BAA and they go for $21.13 + $5 shipping from Bill Jenkins at Signature L-M.

Remove rubber insert in driver's side cup holder until you get new ones.. works wonders..

You're right, u can't order them off the site. Just shoot Bill Jenkins (parts dept.) an e-mail..he'll hook u up. I just bought mine in January. Price went up tho. I'm VERY happy with the difference! He's an awesome guy to deal with. Don't forget to tell him you're a member of CEG!!

I'm aware the left cup holder can hold a large drink, but as we all know the right cup holder sucks. I was hoping there was a way to like cut the bottom of the right cup holder and possibly jury rigging a deeper one. Any ideas?

Not to hijack, but if anyone wants mine, it's listed on eBay right now. I got it out of a 1998-2000 Mystique. It is for the drivers side only. So instead of it looking like crap when you remove the regular insert, you get a nice clean factory look. Check it out. I'm selling it because I just got the updated cupholders from a junk yard so I have no use for it.

The right side holder, just remove the rubber insert and it's perfect for a mug of coffee for the morning commute. I also lay a napkin down over the opening first to catch any spills.
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

The right one holds my 1L Dr Pepper bottles great. The bottles here are just tall enough that they catch the groove straight up on the trim that goes around the radio.
Bottles from Iowa/Illinois border don't fit... same shape, just the Iowa ones are maybe 1/4" taller. Also I don't think the weird ones with the cone shaped top fit...
This is w/o the rubber insert, btw.
