3) I could have not alerted the network members to the dwindling supply. I can just sit on these forever, waiting until mine breaks.
4) As for fabricating your own, go for it! I'm excited to see what you come up with! For the record, the OEM holder is pretty well engineered for the job it needs to do; namely, hold a cup until the drink is empty, then disappear. Sure it's not integrated, but its small, lightweight, cheap to manufacture and design and is actually functional. |
1) I truly apologize if my first post started a tangent that derailed the original intent of the thread.
2) I understand everything cost money. It also cost more money for someone to purchase something, and then resell it. Forum members could have had these cheaper from the dealer. You don't see someone buying the last 3 blue windshields and selling them for 2 grand justifying the cost through unnecessary shipping.
3) You could have just made a post saying the part was on its last legs for availability.
4) I have not used an OEM cupholder but I do have a wedgie. I will say I am not happy with the wedgie; I feel it does too much wear on the side of the seat being removed everytime I have a passenger. It does it's job, though. When I fab one, I will most likely make one that is extremely similar to the OEM one. I will probably take flat stock and place a couple of holes in it.
Well, there I go hijacking your thread again...second apologies.
