Cupholders

[Hirsch]

2019 Lexus ES 350.

The standard cupholders are too large for a water bottle. The bottles rattle around and fall over.

Does anyone know of a company that makes an insert to hold them steady?

What size (diameter) is the opening? Are you referring to the center console circular opening?
If so, you may be able to use a foam ring. Most cupholder adapters are meant to adapt a large drink cup or hiking-type water bottle (32-oz) to a smaller opening. Yours is the reverse - large opening to accommodate a typical 16.9 oz water bottle. At least, that's how I interpret your question.

If the design has not changed, and you have two cupholders right next to each other, The book says to push down with your finger to change the depth to fit the bottle height.  To bring the floor back up, push the button between the two cup holders.

What's interesting about the new ES300h, is that one of the cup holders has a trap door in the bottom. You reach in and flip it open and the 16 oz water bottle drops down to a depth of 6 full inches.  Then the trap door has rubber fingers on it that hold the bottle from rattling. The 2nd cupholder next to the CD player has the same problem you ran into. It's 3 inches deep and 3 inches wide. and no way to make it deeper.  Sunglasses, maybe? Or a styrofoam coffee cup maybe?

Les, I believe this is a photo of the interior's cupholder.

Yes, Dave, that's an exact pic of the console in my 300. you can see the hole for the trap door in the bottom of the one closest to the driver.

That is a water bottle or can holder.  The one  between the USB port and the track pad is a coffee cup holder - only 3 inches deep.

Thanks, Les. That makes sense. I believe there is also a bottle holder in the door of my Mazda 3.

I lost those.  The RX has them. The ES does not.  The door is half as long and does not pop open on hinges for easy access.

See what I gave up when I traded an RX, for an ES, Dave?
