Car Forum / Chevrolet / Chevrolet Malibu / April 2005Random Parts Question ('03 Malibu)
Hey all, I had an incident at the car wash where I ended up "loosing" the rubber cup holder lining from the center console of my car. Does anyone have any clue if there's an aftermarket, or OEM replacement available? If so where? Thanks, ~R~ > Hey all, > I had an incident at the car wash where I ended up "loosing" the [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > ~R~ How did you lose it?

One of the towel guys at the car wash had their window cleaner bottle in the cup holder and that's exactly what happened. The thing is still usefull however I want it replaced.

I would just try superglue or something. The original design seems to be that a couple of flanges are supposed to snap in to slots in the plastic, but that obviously didn't work, since mine looks like a couple of small pieces of 2-sided tape were put on it, but that only lasted for the first few months as well. Unfortunately typical -- reasonable design, poorly executed. > >>> Hey all, > >>> I had an incident at the car wash where I ended up "loosing" the [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > easily and yours did as well . . . . maybe it was just put inthere w/o > adhesive to begin with.

Unfortunately typical -- > reasonable design, poorly executed. I wondered if anyone here owns am impala and if they are better quality than the Malibu or pretty much the same. I like my Malibu but wanted something nicer and was thinking of sticking with GM. Hoping to get an Impala in four years. I have 01 Impala and feel I have had more than my fair share of problems. Luckily most things were under warranty; sunroof switch, rotor warpage plaged me and is common to Impalas as per the dealer I am sure there are more that I can not remember. Several things recently (110K) wheel bearings, tie rods, struts, CV joints, airbag clock spring. I supose it will depend on how long the engine lasts but currently I do not belive I will buy another. It does drive great even at 115MPH (European roads are great). > Hey all, > I had an incident at the car wash where I ended up "loosing" the > rubber cup holder lining from the center console of my car.

Sorry can't help you, but thanks for pointing out that my car is meant to have such a rubber cup holder. I got it second hand at a dealer and thought that the cup holder finish was kinda cheesy. Now I know why, it isn't complete. If I find one I'll let you know.

Although it looks horrible. ~R~ Just keep looking for one when you go to the car wash. They are free there. Uh guys, the rubber cup holder piece is to hold smaller cups. You take it out for larger cups. It does what it is supposed to do and works well. I would check on eBay as you might find one or check with a wrecking yard. Good luck! |
