I remember buying those for my doors back in the early to middle 80's. I thought about them again when I bought my D but, with the way the doors open, I didn't want to get wet when I opened it...Originally Posted by mr_maxime
Never thought about alternative places to hang it.

Anyone using the IKEA cupholders feel like they are a little too wide and let a slim bottle or can or coffee cup move around too freely? I put a coffee cup in mine and it's too wide to grab the sides of the cup. If I were to need to brake quickly or make a quick turn, it wouldn't stay still very well. It wouldn't dump right over, but it would slop out the opening depending on how full it was at the time. Anyone come up with something to fix that?

Bought mine at Autozone. I don't have a picture but I have the same issue. Anything larger than a can of Coke and I can't have it. Then I have to remember to grab it before I open my door......

They are not the optimal solution, imo, just a decent cheap and easy solution that doesnt permanently alter the car.

Yep, lol. Completely agree with you. And the part about whoever comes up with an optimal solution could make a lot of money!!
I saw this cupholder gadget for sale that's meant for your bicycle handle bars. Now, who goes on a bike ride with a pop or coffee on their handle bars vs a water bottle in a bracket on the frame I don't know.
The opening is the perfect size for a medium coffee cup from the main coffee chain in this area. The catch is, it attaches on to a "bar" that would be going horizontal.
I'm trying to MacGuyver a solution to give me that bar and of late I was trying to find a combination of fittings or mounts from dashcams or home speakers or the like that would work. I don't want to drill into anything and make it permanent, but I don't want to wear the coffee if it slips and spills from using a clip or suction cup that stopped holding on tight.

I still like the one I found at Walmart that fits perfectly on console between the seats (in the recessed area where the tray is-so it will not move). It holds all sizes of cups and travel mugs quite securely and requires no modifications and is easily removable. (https://www.amazon.com/Hopkins-EMIC-...=1&*entries*=0). The picture make it look much bigger than it really is.
