My wife's favorite!!

 

Fat-Asses Unite! Hey, here in AmeriKa, the circumference you Canadians call a cup holder, is actually made to fit the exact dimensions of a standard DoNut. Once the donut is in place, your medium sized drink will fit snuggly into the hole of the donut...... problem solved.

 

I agree these cup holders are a little over sized but perfect for all those fat asses who always have a Big Gulp in their hands.

 

They hold regular size Booster Juice containers perfectly. First cup holders they actually fit in. But yes, they are large.

 

Cup holder too big? Or cup too small? Hmmm... :dunno:

 

You could always use the universal cup holder like we did back in the day, and that would be holding your drink between your legs.

:lol:

 

There's already too much there.

 

You could get the ones that slide into the window so they even still make those

I don't like those. Any quick stop and you are wearing your drink. Plus, reaching for it interferes with driving!! you gotta reach to the left over the wheel!!

 

Yup - the cup holders are too big. A complaint. Who the heck designed these things.

Try placing a Poland Springs bottle, a small coffee, or a Pepsi bottle. (And no, I am not placing a coffee on drivers door because it has a small bottle holder. Absolutely silly. I have been keeping an eye out for a styrofoam can wrap to use as an insert.

 

the cup holders are the same size as my Tundra's cup holders and they hold a 32 oz gateraid just fine

 

I just placed an order for a medium sized Drink Docker:

Not the most attractive cup holder, but looks like it will do the job. I'll report back on how it fits and how well it works.

^ :lol: wow....

Go to walmart, spend $2 (instead of the $10), get some really thick sock and it will probably look and work about the same :lol:

 

Ok... um, you guys are starting to talk about 'stuffing socks' to enhance the appearance of your cupholder...... TMI. :rofl:

 

I also find the large cupholders annoying. It was the same on my Tundra. I read how others have used weather stripping, disposal gaskets, and toilet seals. Well, today I bought some plastic cupholders that hang from the window sill from Walmart. I cut off the hook and placed them in he cupholders. Aesthetically, they're okay, but they serve their purpose for now. For $3, it was worth a try. Has anyone else done anything to mod the cupholders?

 

So I got the Drink Docker a few weeks ago, and the medium size fits perfectly. The Highlander's holder is so deep, the Drink Docker is barely exposed, so doesn't look too bad. It works great!

 

cupholder too big - in search of insert

I'm using a Kleen Kanteen in the cupholder which is WAY too big and it bobbles all over. It's driving me nuts. I've been searching for some type of insert to make the cupholder smaller, with no luck.

Has anyone else solved this problem and able to point me to something that would work?

Thanks in advance!

Stick one of those cardboard "heat" protection sleeves that you get from Dunkin' Donuts, Starbucks, etc in one of the holders. I did that to stabilize bottles of water.

 

Aren't there bottle holders in the door panels? It's not as convenient but it would be quieter.

 

door panel cupholders



Just wait until you slam the door with your DD coffee in it.

 

You just need a bigger cup. :lol:

 

Those are 'illegal' in New York, aren't they? >

 

I feel déjà vu with this thread...

Edit: Phew, I'm not losing my mind.
Threads merged.

 

Haha....yes, obviously I'm not the best "searcher" and I wasn't here for this discussion that took place almost a year ago.

But I did get some good suggestions, thanks

 

Just use one of those foam beer can holders. Not only will it fill the space but they will keep your drink cold or warm.

 

Fix Cup Holders so my drink stays in place

What are your solutions?

When I put my drink in the cup holder, it is tall and skinny so it wobbles around and wont stay put. How can I fix this?

 

Yes, the cup holders are huge on the 3rd Gen HL! Short term: a foam can koozie. Since it's foam, it was easy to cut an opening for the plastic tab that's supposed to help secure your drink. Would love to hear some better ideas. I've been looking and can't find anything. I've seen some cup holder inserts from other Toyota models, but they're crazy expensive at about $20 each; that's too expensive for something I'd still have to modify a little bit.

 

I bought these at walmart and just cut off the the handle.

Up here in Markham, Canada just saw these in a Canadian Tire for $5.99 ! Looks like they would do the job though. Will have to check out Walmart !

 

I bought and installed "Drink Dockers" (www.drinkdocker.com). Found out about these from someone else on this forum (don't remember where). Front one is a medium size and rear one is large size. They come with rubber shims so you can adjust the fit into the original cupholder. I think they work great! $10. each plus shipping.

Does the medium one fits snugly, or did you have to use the shims to adjust?

 

The beer foams are likely the most useful way to go. You can also simply splice it so it doesn't have to grip the cup and stays in the holder. May have to remove the center splitter.

Another thing to do is to add some foam along the walls of the cup holder. I think this might work and look best. You might be able to use some spare bike helmet foams. They have a smooth material so cups slide in nice.

 

I'll try the bike helmet foam pads soon and report back. I think this maybe a good way to do it as they are designed to get wet.

 

I would love to see what you come up with...

I guess Ill try out the foam holders first and see..
