I've had a quick look & don't see this mentioned elsewhere (please forgive me if it is) but does anyone else have a solution for the slightly oddly sized cup holders? My experience in other cars is that they usually accept a standard size 330ml can as a snug fit, and can be a big loose with say a 500ml bottle or the like.

However those in the QQ have a rattle fit for a can & are way too big for a smaller bottle of water, on the flip side they'll take a bigger bottle snuggly enough. A bottle with a screw cap rattling is less of an issue than an open can !

Appreciate one size doesn't fit all...but just looking for a solution. I recall you used to get foam can holders with various inserts to adapt to fit & I wonder if I could maybe sit one of them in the holder to help me out...if they still exist.

I cant believe there isn't a gripping device inside the cup holder to stop the rattle and keep most sized cups held tight, all my previous cars had this.

Indeed...I've had a wee look about, but don't see an obvious aftermarket solution.

My immediate thought is "Blu-Tack" !

This is gonna drive me nuts until I find a solution! Just seems like a huge oversight.

Nice one Gel, definite possibility...just put off by the Hong Kong location, but at that price might be worth a punt. Need to check dims - thank you !

Myself, i was thinking more like this & maybe even glueing them on or slicing slots to hold the fingers.

LOL ! Brilliant! Looks good to me, but seems my wife isn't too keen on that alternative solution !

Will check out the other options on the link though...thanks again!

Nice but can I have a redhead instead?

Who am I kidding, I'd settle for anybody!
