Solved armrest/cup holder issue - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Welker2 · 09-08-2015, 02:20 AM

One issue I've had since buying the Camaro is the arm rest/cup holder area. While driving, I tend to rest my right arm on the armrest & my elbow ends up in one the cup holders; if I or my passenger used one of the cup holders, the drinks were in my way. Picked up a pad & double cup holder to resolve both issues.

That cup holder is one of my favorite mods. I can enjoy driving my M6 and a cold drink at the same time. Genius!

I have both the side double cup holders and the rear cup holder in my M6, the stock cup holder is my phone holder haha.

Thank you for showing that. It's on my wish list. I hate trying to shift when my wife's or son's drinks are in there.

Do you get stuck when that happens?

No lol my elbow rests across the rear holder & it gets a little uncomfortable, especially on long drives. Also, my knee doesn't come anywhere close to the key either.

All that being said, I just went for a short drive and the cushion works/feels great

Look like the cup holder does the job but whatever is keeping it in place is warping the side of the console,maybe permanently after a while.

Thanks for pointing that out, I hadn't noticed it. There's a thin lip that slides up/under the bottom of the console side panel. Apparently when I slid it in last night I popped one of the clips on the side panel ... it popped right back in.

this is on my wish list now lol, i've been itching to do something about the terrible placement of the cupholders on these things

Love the cup holders, but how big of a cup can u put in them. Are they about the same size as the center console holders or smaller?
