Car Forum / Mercedes-Benz Cars / July 2006w126 cup holders?
Has anyone seen a cup holder attachment for a w126 that does not require drilling or permanent attachment and does not block the ashtray? TIA, Shannon Yeah, I've seen those 99-cent cup holders from Pep Boys or Wal-Mart where you can anchor them on the window sill. Just make sure you don't slam the doors with drinks in the cup holders... How disturbingly kitschy! > Has anyone seen a cup holder attachment for a w126 that does not > require drilling or permanent attachment and does not block the > ashtray? > TIA, > Shannon One prob is that the doors panels are so thick those usually don't work well > Yeah, I've seen those 99-cent cup holders from Pep Boys or Wal-Mart > where you can anchor them on the window sill.

I'll let them figure that one out themselves and curse whoever they want to curse for inept design and Teutonic abhorrence... > One prob is that the doors panels are so thick those usually don't work > well [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >>> TIA, >>> Shannon > Has anyone seen a cup holder attachment for a w126 that does not >require drilling or permanent attachment and does not block the >ashtray?

I leave the ash tray closed and use a bobkin ashtray that sits on the window sill. Now I have two choices for cups a 64 oz. insulated mega mug or a 20 oz coffee cup. The only trick is that it sits in front of the shifter while in gear and behind the shifter when in park. The anti spill lids do a pretty good job to prevent sloshing and you have to make a real radical move to tip them over.
