  • Part # for 08 cup holder insert...

    So I was at the dealership today getting the mirror replaced on my mom's GP...and I was bored, so I started browsing the cars (eh, let's be realistic...i ALWAYS browse the cars ). After I finished cleaning up the puddle of drool I left in the G8 in the showroom...I went over and looked at an 08 G6...and I noticed they have revised the cup holder insert! It now has the little "fins" that pop out to help hold smaller cups steady. Does anyone have the part number for this revised insert?

    Now before anyone says it, YES, I realize the console is slightly different in that in has notches cut out to grab the tabs on the outside of the insert to hold it all in place...and I plan on making the appropriate adjustments to my console to make it work. It only takes two words: DRE MEL! Ooops...one word.

    So...part number pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease?



    Yayyyyyyy for crappy cell pics!

    I second third and fourth his request. I need these as with my driving my water bottles become projectiles. One even went right into the passenger door pocket this morning.

            That's definitely the number right?

            Neither PZO or GMPD recognize it as a valid number...

              Why don't you take it for a test drive and then swap out yours with the new one. Problem solved.

                  so what has to change to make those fit cause to me they look like they just are fins nothing special behind them so all they do is hold stuff better.

                    on the outside of the liner (the part that would face the inner walls of the console) there are some tabs sticking out that lock into some cut outs on the 08 consoles. Basically, it keeps the liner from coming out of the console when you remove a cup from the holder, and it probably helps hold the cups down when they would normally have a tendency to tip. So for that liner to fit in a pre-08 console, one would have to cut a couple notches into the plastic of the console. Not a problem IMHO, a very easy retrofit.

                      This must just be an '09 thing because my '08 doesn't have the tabs either...

                        I thought of the same thing. Even with a new shift knob. But I realized I didn't want to screw over a fellow 6er who's about to buy a car.

                          Maybe it was a mid-year change. Because the window sticker definitely identified it as an 08 model.

                          If that's the case, we need an 09 owner to verify their car has the new style, and then get the 09 part number.

                            And after the mod maybe some double-sided tape would do the trick.

                            I'm definitely interested. Hate putting my drink in the larger hole and it wiggles around.
