Anybody got the part number/price for
the better cup holder you can order?

I have to look at the bottom of it but I wouldn't waste my time. I bought one for mine last month and thank God it was only $8 or so. It doesn't fit quite correctly. There are two tabs in the front that have nothing to hook into. There are good things and bad things about it. A large coffee from Dunkin' Donuts pulls the holder out with it when you remove it. 2 mediums used to fit and now they are too snug. The lid doesn't open smoothly now because the cupholder insert doesn't go down far enough. The positives.... a coffee in the front one won't tip over like the old one. That's about it.

Part #77237-SOK-A020-MI - I think the MI is not necessary and it's less than $8.

So far the cupholder is the only mod I have on my CL-S

It was about $6. It fit perfectly in the spot, and my vintage July 2000 CL-S had the slots so it locked into place nicely. No affect on the doors. I now have a functional cupholder. A bottle of water would slosh around and tip in the old one. This one works great!!

Another mod I am thinking about is the CD Holder (I don't have the Navi). It replaces the pull-out notepad holder with one that holds 4 cd's. Don't know if I will do this though, I like the notepad.

CD holder? Tell me more! I guess the moral of the story is to see if there are two holes in the front of the space for the new cupholder to go. Mine is from March 2000 MFG and it doesn't have them.

what's up with the .8g cupholders on the tl-s? are those the same as the new ones for the cl?


anyway...if i was driving around at .8g's constantly, i wouldn't have a drink in my cupholder...the cup may be held at .8g's, but how are they gonna hold whatever is in the cup?

 

what cupholders? are they to replace the existing ones? whats so special about them?

The CD holder fits into the slot for the notepad on the non-navi.
It opens up like a book, and holds 4 cd's with clips similar to a standard cd jewel case.

Yep... it has been available in the TL since its introduction.

Funny thing is... a lot of the TL owners are switching their CD holder for the CL's notepad holder heh.

When I had my TL... I found the CD holder fairly useless...

It was way hard to switch a CD with one hand.

Case Logic makes a CD holder that straps on to the sun visor. I think it holds 12 CDs, and you can easily slide each CD in and out of the holder with one hand.

I like the notepad holder myself. I found some little pads at Office Depot that fit in there perfectly, and the credit card area holds all those non-essential cards (video rental cards, CostCo, etc.) that would otherwise just take up space in your wallet.
