No cup holders, no arm rest

[sjones302]

Okay, got my new passport running good and all the problems taken care of. Now on to the other stuff. My 95 Passport has no cupholders
and no center armrest. Is there an aftermarket option that can blends well or am i just stuck with going to pep boys and getting their generic vent style cup holder.

I bought one cupholder on e-bay and was quite disappointed. It was the type that fit in the ashtray slot. If you have 4WD it gets in the way of the shifter. And it was too shallow and flimsy to be any good. Got my money back but the dude is still selling them to other suckers.

4WD or not, I wouldn't recommend the ashtray type.

EDIT: I did buy a black gimbal-style cupholder intended for marine applications. Screwed the bracket to the dashboard on my '97. It'll hold just about anything and you can have the vehicle at a 45 degree angle and not spill a drop. The downside is that it protrudes in the personal space of a passenger. I bought the type that is removable from the bracket, so when it is bothering someone (wife) it can be quickly slid out and tossed behind the seat. The cupholder cost about $25 with shipping and is well built. West Marine sells them, as do other places. I don't care if my 9-year old Rodeo has stuff screwed to the dashboard. It's too old to be fussy about such things. Hope this helps.

I couldn't locate the exact one that I bought, but here is something to work with..........try West Marine online catalog. They have something called a Mug Buoy. It's $18.00 and the catalog # is 100420. They have additional mounting brackets for $2.50 so this must be the type that is removable too? Take a look and decide.
I checked mine and it doesn't have any numbers on it. By the way, I mounted it just to the right of the radio and to the left of the airbag cover. Squeezed right in there.
Good luck, Tom

thought i would follow up with this... there is a honda oem armrest that fits perfectly on the passport & rodeo. I found it on ebay in case anyone is searching for one.
