I guess I do not use mine enough. Usually put the coke bottles or water bottles in them. Still going strong.

Alyssa wins the cup holder horror story award hands down. Oops, I meant. Now I had better move along.

Never really had to "hold" the button. Just one press and it would open. But it does feel rather flimsy.

Maybe I just haven't used it enough. <_<

Hope it lasts longer than what most of you guys said.

Not really, ksc, but it sounds like a plan!

My driver side cupholder worked great in the car for a few months. It held a can fine. Then it would not open so the dealership replaced it. The replacement does not hold a can very well. If the can is close to emply it will just pop out. The passenger side still works fine. They must have caused this problem when they re-engineered the cupholder so it would not stick.

i hardly use my cupholders but i know it's not good for long 20oz bottle. i put a bottle of coke in the driver's side one day. when i made a not so hard turn, it felt on my girlfriend's lap and she had a nice bruise . the cupholders for me are toys for anyone who first sits in my car . they all think that is soooo cool .
