Sometimes I wish the cupholder module was removable so I could wash it properly. Drinks can and will spill sometimes, often times leaving a mess that much easier to clean up if the module was removable. Mod idea?

 

Great idea! I haven't spilled anything in 1.5 years, but it would be easy enough to do. C'mon Acura, let's be sensible.

 

That was one of the first thoughts in my head when I got the car. How am I supposed to clean these when they get gunky? If they just popped out that'd be great.

If they were to pop out that would make more room for rattles............. right?

 

I cut two discs out of a 1/8inch thich sheet of rubber(or something like it) and placed them in the bottom of the cupholders. They're removeable and give the cupholders a less plasticy feel and sound. Big mod 1$ worth of rubber from a dollar store.

A craft store might have some rubber type material but you'll find all sorts of rubber at your auto supply store. Look at the mudflaps or floor mats, pick a nice design but not too thick <1/4 inch. Then get out the scissors or box cutter and carve it up. You can get fancy and measure with a divider then use a compass to draw the circle on the sheet.

 

I don't like the side spacer pieces. They grip the cup too tightly so the the little cardboard holders/insulators you get from the local coffee shop always gets removed from the cup.



The accord has a more elegant approach. My ONLY gripe with the TL!

Please Acura, PLEASE.... fix this!

 

are you referring to the cup holder in between the seats?!?!? those do come out

 

How do you remove it?

 

LOL. I was thinking the same thing.

 

I just wish TL had to same cupholders as Accord. TL has rubber grabbers while Accord has plastic grabbers on springs - try to take out a plastic coffee cup - few times when I had TL I almost broke a cup trying to take it out from the cup holder.

 

Yep, pop off the silver trim pieces, remove four screws, and out comes the cupholder
