Sorry if this is a repeat question, couldn't find it anywhere by searching...

One of my cupholders in the front got cracked on the side and thus the little round rubbery thing that was inside that holds the cup firmly in place became loose and fell out, and then got lost. Then, miraculously, yet another one disappeared even though that cup holder isn't cracked at all. I noticed that the old one came out still attached to a cup once, so that probably happened and I threw it out.

So - can you buy these things anywhere? I thought I would just superglue them in if I could find some more. Every time I put a cup in with a thinner base, it topples out

The inserts have no part number on them that I can see so you'd be looking at a whole cupholder cup from VW.

Oh that's no fun. I guess I'll have to hold my drinks or stop eating so much McDonald's

I would check a junkyard if you want one. My back cupholder is broken. I just use my fronts.

I dont even use the cup holders on mine. Being a 2001 the cupholders are all but useless except for soda cans. I have a hanging cupholder on my passenger seat. They are normally for usage hanging towards the back but it works pretty well for me. When I have a passenger, I just flip it around to the rear.

Good idea, didn't think of that!

Mine is a 2001 as well, but most of the drinks I get usually fit in there, although the straw might have to be bent to do it.. haha

Heh. I find that the bent straw thing helps keep the cup from falling over, actually. (cracked cupholders and missing inserts = fun!)

LOL you may be right. I've found with certain cups, you can actually push the straw underneath and INTO the lower part of the dash and it will hold it, although then some of that black icky dash stuff comes off on your straw sometimes

Ahh. I don't have that problem. I sanded all that stuff off and painted the center dash bits.
