Default Cup Holder Question

Was there a recall on the cup holders in the SC's?

recalls are for safety items...do you mean a TSB?
either way, I don’t think so...they were poorly designed.
there is a thread out there about how to make the cup holders work better.

Dennis, here is the solution for your bad designed cup holder:

I saw that earlier when I read that whole thread. I am guessing you still have 6 to 8 of those on the shelf.

Yes, I can spare 2 for you. PM the address, I will send via USPS. Or if it's easy for you, go to Dollartree.

We have a new Dollartree that opened about 6 months ago I will check them on Thursday. Thanks for the offer to ship.

I guess I'm odd. I don't drink or eat in my cars. Never have. The cupholder does make a dandy phone holder though.

I am like you we never eat in our cars but we will take our water glasses in the LS. The glasses are 7 3/4 inches high. I had read several threads and just want to check and see if Lexus had come up with a fix that maybe had not been done on my SC. We might take the water glasses if we were both going in the SC and the DW could keep an eye on them but otherwise probable not going to take one.

I don’t remember that I sent you a set or not. I did send out couple sets but can’t recall for whom.

Picked up a set of blue ones today. Out the door for $2.14. Our big water glasses will not work in them but a regular bottle of water or can will.

Thanks for the tip GmanSC

The insulated 20 oz drink container (link below) fits perfectly (no shaking, rattling, etc) in the existing SC430 cup holders. I ordered two of them.

In another thread, mak99 found some thermal mugs (no handle) that fit perfect in the cup holder and hold the temperature quite well. He found them at JCP, use this number on a search 848974150372. They are called Ranger Coffee. They are about $15. I wound up getting 2. (Web ID 7882415)

I just checked on JCP and it indicated that they are out of stock but you can get a stock alert on them. You might be able to find them elsewhere also.
