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

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.

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 .
