W208 Clk430 Cup Holder Broke!!!!
Well the cheap POS "arm" cup holder broke on my CLK. I pulled the entire thing out and now have a new storage compartment, however - NO cup holders now! anyway... i found this on ebay...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...spagename=WDVW

Anyone know where I can get a better deal than this? Is there any other "better designed" alternative cup holder solutions for this compartment?

Thanks -

Join the club.

You can line the bottom with a piece of felt... or rubber... or whatever. Either way, it keeps my coffe from spilling much better now.

It's pretty sad that I am wishing that my benz had the same "fold away" cup holder as my commuter car does (Grand Prix GT)... Never thought a POS american car would have something designed 100x better than on the benz... hmmm

Thumbs down Cup Holder cost $2500
Because of that poorly designed cup holder, I end up replacing some electrical parts on my 2001 W208 transmission after the bottle of water spilled through the shift gear... I'll never replace that cup holder

Just pull it straight up with maybe a little persuasion toward the front of the car at the same time. It'll come, just talk nice.
