Any info on where that second type of cup holder is available? Is it in the Europe and Canada cars?
I hate the open drink holders in my car. It's an eyesore on a otherwise beautiful dash.
I'd like to replace mine with the flap type.

Not sure if MBUSA dealers can order it. One might have to use a MB dealer in Europe or check with our resident ebay expert pleubner for Euro availability.
Here's some info from the W163, for comparison...
