RX330 cup holder
New to the board, looking for some help. I bought the wife a 05 RX330 second hand, and was wondering if there is, or ever was an insert to the cup holder found in the center console to hold smaller sized cups/cans/etc. My wife has several cans of soda tip over and spill in the holder and it is a pain to clean out.
Thanks for your help!!

there are suppose to be flaps that hold the drinks in place. i will try to find a picture, but it is needed you else you just have a rectangle storage area there. In the mean time, there is another front up holder underneath the driver side air con vent.

Thanks for the reply. The flap thingamagig you note is there, but it does not help at all. The holder on the dash is ok, but would perfer to keep the drink away from the dash. Would hate to have a drink spill and some of it getting into the dash, possibly getting any electronics wet.

lol well everything that came with the car is there. You just gotta make sure the spring is activated in the flaps and to insert the drink so that the flaps are pointing down. they seem to work pretty well for me. 0.o

I have complained about cup holders not being too big to hold the huge cups...the RX gives the option of small and large. A plus on my book.

It's simple. Remove the console, and take off the screws form the bottom to remove the back giving you access to the cup holder mechanism. When you can see the cup holder mechanism--unscrew on the little black clip. Use pliers bend the clip section aprox 4 degrees inward. Screw on the black clip that was previously removed. Test tolerance to see how smoothly it opens. Reinstall console.

It cost approximate $50 to $75 on Ebay. I have never found a use for it.
