W211 E320 cup holder

[Blowpipe]

Am I doing something wrong or is the pop-up cup holder in the centre consol unfit for purpose?

Stick a standard travel mug in and it gets right in the way of my right arm, making steering almost impossible.

There's a gap just to the left of the holder when it's up, but far from ideal.

It's designed for a LHD vehicle, that's why they're useless.

Ill buy it off you if you want to sell it

Not completely useless...

They aren't great as they are designed for LHD as said, but it does allow you to put a can in place which the standard compartment doesn't (its not wide enough).

Better than nothing... I got used to mine.

Pull the insert out and small bottles (fanta, ribena etc) fits. Just.

Easy to do without damage?

Cancel my last. A quick tug at the back frame and the whole thing came out. AND I found three 10p coins. Right result.

Only another pound, and you can get a bottlebto put in there. Lol.
