Different center console/cup holder assembly

Post by ~MRVIBE2006~ »

Is there a difference center console/cup holder assemble that will fit in a '06 vibe from another vehicle? Having cup fitment issues when my fiancee and I have drinks that require a cup holder and the are too big to fit in there at the same time.Any suggestions?

The base part that includes the cup holders is the same for all of the years of VIbes and Matrixes, at least so far. Other than having the passenger reach back and use the cup holder on the back of the center console, I don't really know what to offer other than the unhelpful "use smaller cups"Maybe something from a non-Vibe/Matrix might be made to fit in there, but I don't know of any in particular that would be an easy swap.

Bottle of water fits perfect in the front one and my Vitamin water fits perfect in the second one. Never a problem for me. Try pouring the drink into a small container?
