Thread: w202 cup holder

    w202 cup holder

    Is it me or is the OEM cup holder sucks big time? I broke mine the other day, the arm that swings out came completely off. Is there a good aftermarket cupholder out there for the c280? For now, I just stick my coffee in the hole where the cup holder used to me, it just looks bad.

    my cupholder hasn't broken completely like yours, but everytime i try to take my drink out of the cup holder, the whole cup holder will come out with the drink -_-.

    even when it was working, it was flimsy at best. Why don't they just put a hole in the center console and be done with? I have a luxury car and no cup holder, how did that happened?

    In my 94 C280, there was just a hole in the cup holder cubby. Actually, it was a plastic piece that can be removed, but it did hold a certain size cup.

    If you think the C class cupholder is bad, you should see how useless the Audi B5 S4 cupholders are. Such a waste of space.
