Where to get cup holder inserts?

I know how mine got "lost" It stuck to the bottom of the can and I trashed it all! Maybe we will find out.

try google for what you're looking for...either that or ask your dealer or a junkyard. i really doubt that you "need someone" to help you find aftermarket cupholder inserts so your thermos doesn't rattle.

Try calling or looking in a scrapyard. Someone may have totalled a '98-'01, which would have the same inserts.

I think the ones in the '02-on Sport and SportTrac are also the same...

Thanks, I'll try that.

You should be able to get the insert from your Ford Parts counter. You will probably be surprised at the price as well. On some things they are pretty reasonable (at least more than I expected). For instance, I needed to replace the front wheel well internal mud-flaps on my '97. After pulling it off and on so many times to do various work on my Explorer they have gotten pretty ripped up. In addition to that most of the plastic pins had broken off. I expected to pay around $25 for each side as well as about $1 for each of the twelve plastic pins. I was quite surprised to find out that the flaps were only $11 each and included the mounting pins. I got out of there for a third of what I expected. Might not hurt to drive down to any Ford/Lincoln/Mercury dealer and ask. They may cost about $5 each but that is nothing compared to the aggravation of a rattling coffee cup.

Dealer or auto wrecker...... aftermarket parts manufacturers are mainly interested in dress up items and what are known as sacrificial parts. The low volumes of interior trim pieces and the like make it unprofitable to pursue the market..

The scrap yard will probably force you buy the whole console though. ;-)

Dunno... I see interior finish parts on eBay all the time ;-)
