The best thing about my Ferrari F355 was the lack of cup holders...

What annoys me about the cupholder is that my drink doesn't sit straight and upright. The drink always leans towards the seat.

Have you tried the trick in the FAQ's listed above. That solves it for me.

Hello Santa Fe,

I could be wrong, but I believe the original post is referring to how poorly the central piece of the three piece cup holder cover trim aligns with the neighboring trim. I had this problem (although my misalignment was only 1.5 or 2 mm and not 3/4" as reported) and my dealer replaced my entire cup holder assembly as a unit under warranty.

The new cup holder assembly aligns perfectly and I'm happy that I had it changed (they provided to me the assembly, I swapped it). By the way, I disassembled the original cup holder mechanism to see if there was an internal adjustment however there wasn't. One more thing, your dealer may allow you to keep the external silver trim pieces (three pieces) for you to keep as spares in the event that yours ever get scratched!

Regards,
Joe

My cupholder cover trim doesn't align perfectly, perhaps 1/4 to 1/2" off - on the driver's side...

The FAQ you refer to is to prevent lateral movement of the cupholder arm; however the problem SPrincess indicates is the weakness of the ratcheting grip mechanism, which is not addressed in the FAQ- at least that is my read.

I am on my second cupholder mechanism and this one has developed the gap that is discussed above. I had asked my dealer to take care of it along with a myriad of other things, but it was missed. I'll have it taken care of next time.
