MrMom Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Okay I realize this isn't the most important question ever, infact far from it, but it's always something that's bugged me a bit about my 95 Pathfinder. I've never been happy with the cup holders mounted in the center console thang and so far all the aftermarket ones haven't done it for me either. The in-dash slide out ones like Toyota used in their trucks of that era were something I always wished Nissan would have done also. I don't smoke and I was wondering if anyone else had tried to fit some kind of slide out holder in place of the ashtray, either from another auto maker or homemade? Those cheap, thin plastic slide in ones that are sold on ebay are a fair temporary fix but I would really like something that's fixed in the ashtray slot and slides in and out. As I said, far from the most important issue but I'm in Seattle and yes I do drink more than my share of coffee. I'm the original owner of my 95 Pathfinder and will keep it until I can't make it run anymore....LOVE IT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMom Posted March 24, 2007 Author Share Posted March 24, 2007 I totally misread ignore all my posts You want one that goes in and Out and hides in the center fo thdash my mistake!!! No problemo. I actually have one of those and it does work well but since I don't have any room in my glovebox it usually ends up on the floor of the back seat where my kids get a hold of it. I'm surprised they haven't broke it yet although it does get treated like an easter egg and takes me a while to find it when ever I need it. Just thought I'd see if anyone out there had tried to rig something inside the dash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88pathoffroad Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Most Japanese vehicles don't have them, AFAIK it has something to do with driving responsibly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M in KC Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 I've got the model in Gotrek's last post before this. It works I guess. You can't put your super slurpie drinks in there but a moderate sized coffe cup or can of soda works fine. I have a M/T and I thought I'd be screwed with the long throws of the shifter but there is just enough distance between my hand and the cup holder when shifting. The kind you hang on the inside of the door I always forget when my beverage is hanging there and when I close my door my steering wheel gets a bath along with my floor mat. The '91's do sork for holding beverages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
