The wife complained about the lids of smaller sized disposable cup lids hanging up on the side of the cup-holder in the center console, because of the deep well.

Using the removable rubber mat in the bottom of the cup-holder as a template, trace and cut cardboard pieces to the same side...3 of them stacked and placing the rubber mat on top resolved the issue.

My fix for same problem? I just put a couple of extra coffee cup lids in the bottom of one of the cup holders (a black lid is hardly even noticeable). Now I have one that works for small cups and one for big cups. :D

For that matter, who BUYS coffee? The best thing about coffee is that a whole pot of it costs about a dime.

I think the issue I have is with a larger drink they're Skinner from bottom and widen at top but they fly all over. Does adding the lids help it with stability?
