Easy fix for short cupholders

[Sicktght311]

For all of you with 270s/290s with the cupholder above the port lounger that doesnt hold anything in place when you hit any kind of bump. I know some people go the route of 3d printing plastic risers, or drilling holes in dowels as risers, but heres an off the shelf quick fix

Before

Go to Home Depot and get yourself some Connecting Cap Nuts by Everbuilt. You'll need 2 packs

You'll also need longer screws, so you can either use #8 or #10 thread (I used 10 to tighten things up a little since a couple screws were a bit loose and stripped), and you'll need 6x 1.25", and 1x 2" in length. Unscrew the original screws, slide the cap nuts under the screw hole position, put the new longer screws through, and tighten down

Maybe it’s for holding empties?

Maybe it’s for holding empties?

I thought that was why you brought the kids?
Now I’m confused as ever!
