Just got our 'new' '96 Accord 4-dr 5-spd on the road yesterday.

Center console drink cup holders are too shallow - my tall mug tips over.

My wife uses a very wide mug; hope to find something to hold that also.

What solutions have you folks found?

 

hang on the door option works

 

Find a different mug, it certainly isn't a Honda problem

I regularly cart Dunkin Donut's extra large coffee in the centre console without incident. That is (of course) that I can cart but one at the time.

They cannot go any deeper from design, there's metal there.

 

Ah yes, but they can go higher.

I'm considering removing the swing-lift cover and gluing in a couple sections of PVC pipe or such. Somehow the cup holder assy is removable so I can revert to oem if we want later.
Or do the mods to a different oem cup holder and put that in.

 

Interesting point, that would only give you another half an inch or so I'd imagine - it's been awhile since I played in my 5th gen.

The stock cup holders just pull right out. Just tug upwards on it.

 

Width wouldn't increase much - agreed.

But I could put in as tall a section of tubing as I want - that should keep the drink from tipping over out of the holder. The trick is to do it so it's not ugly.

 

As an idea you *could* probably cut out the bottom part that cuts inward where there's a lip and use some PVC to make a new wider bottom, then extend the top upwards.

As another suggestion the Krylon Camo paint that's tan is a pretty damn close match for the interior tan color. It's meant for plastics too - I got some at Advanced Auto.

 

Pull straight up - thanks for the tip.
I hadn't yet figured that out.
Sometimes I'm kinda slow.

 

we all have our moments ...def keep us updated on the progrss as well as pics of the outcome because this is def a good idea

 

Original DIY.... in for the final result
