Default cup holder

so my center cup holder broke this AM. It's to the right of the E brake and has the pop up feature. Can it be glued (one of the little arms broke), will I have luck going to a junk yard, or should I just pay the (i'm guessing) $85 for this thing. I use it daily? Any ideas appreciated.

everything can be fixed with duct tape!! don't you know that? this would be the classy to use the duct tape.

and when you're finished, might i suggest you use it this way:

ya know....they can send a man to the moon, but they can't make a decent functioning cup holder.

Vorsprung Durch Technik - except in the case of beverage management.

Germans are not good at devising cup-holders (and NEVER will be), mostly because they view the art (yes, it IS an art-form) of driving, as practiced IN Germany,involves... GASP!!! driving. Not driving and nursing a cup of 5BUCKS coffee.

Check with Shokan.com (east coast) or Dadsauto.com (west coast). They prolly have one for a lesser rape-charge (3rd degree?!?!?).

^^ It's true. But that doesn't mean it's not funny to joke about.

hahayeah the little pop-up ones on my center console actually aren't too bad at holding canned drinks (like beer), but it's still in the way of my shifting arm.

I hated that cupholder soo much I screwed a new one on top of it...

I bought the new adjustable cupholder at Kragen for like $6...

it holds any cup/can/bottle perfectly
