K our cup holders have to be the worst cup holders ever designed! Mercedes in general. Mine had been acting up for a long time and it finally broke. My buddy with his w203 had the same problem and so did a friend with a clk. Just venting haha

+1 on both of you. might as well take them off imo
hahaha I always end up hurting a passanger when my vitamin water flies in their lap cuz it doesnt fit in the lower one.Originally Posted by MikeD
Not even kidding, that is my projectile of choice.
Lol mine hasn't done that actually. But what annoys me is that I have to buy a drink that fits in the holder. Lol. But normal soft drink cups fit fairly well. But a small tab on my top holder broke so when I hit turns i usually just hold it til I'm done turning
yea I haven't bought an Arizona ice tea since I've had the car lol
The holders are better than the older benzes. When I was a little tike. My parents owned both a 300e and a 190e. And If I'm not mistaken. The cup holders were on the backside of the glovebox door lid. And it wasn't much of a holder. Just two little indents. U can only use it if u were stopped. Lol. How dumb
the left cupholder works fine but it wont hold much. A soda can fits perfect and oddly enough a large McDondalds cup does as well. The base seems to be small than the paper cups. the trick folding one is useless though. It looks cool, but can't hold crap.
Completely mad.
'99 C230K, intake and exhaust more on the way.
'86 MKIV Escort RS Turbo, stock for now, chip and more boost on the way
'75 Fiat 124 Spider, koni shocks, bigger carb and drilled/slotted brakes
to tune and hoon the mbz master race.
i use my cup holder for air freshener... the only logical thing to put there.. lol
what, cup holders? The only cup holder i've got is the one i added in the car myself via armrestis it an american thing? or did it just not come in the classic series?
i think its US option only :dunno:
Damn. I need that side view mirror knob. Mine wad broken when I bought it
Everyone who has ever been in my car thinks the cup holder is cool as ****. It's just the functionality of it that could have been better.
same thing here... specially when its closed and then i tell them to get the cup holder... they ask where then i pop it out and they all say that's cool!
Ppl always wanna use the cup holder in mine bc its so cool
i got so frustrated i removed mine all together . cups actually fit in the hole left behind much better. even though its square. LOL
mine looks nothing like that, well, without the actual mechanical thing.. my drink just slots straight in.
lol yea I just figured that out. Took everything out and there's more space now
got any pics?
In addition to the center console one, I also have a folding cupholder located at the front driver side door panel. It's actually useless but nice to know it's there in case I really need it.
I'll get one when i can for you.
I feel like the cup holder space itself is more convenient than the cup holder..
i think ive realised that wherever i got this arm rest from has cheated me on the actual cup holder.
like emili230k just said, i think my initial 'cup holder' i've been talking about is the cup holder space... haha!
The 1994 models definitely did not come with the cup holder. On the cars that came with the holder from the factory the cupholder clips in. On the early cars you needed to use a plastic bar that was included with the cup holder that used two sheet metal screws to hold the mechanism in place.
