Polestar 2 cup holder

Owners of the Polestar 2 knows that the cup holders are less than ideal. If you want to have the armrest in the forward position, neither of the two cup holders can be used. The rear cup holder is practically useless anyways, and if you were to use it, you'd have to contort your body to even reach it. So I decided to create an alternative. I chose to use the lid of the glovebox as the anchor point, as it has a firm locking mechanism, and has been designed to take some weight (there's even a foldable hook that can take 2 kg). My cup holder has been designed to hang over the top edge of the glovebox lid towards the center console, and when the lid is closed, it cannot come loose. It is thin enough to not be pinched when the lid is closed, but if you want it to be, you can add some foam tape to the top part of the hook. It is also possible to move it to the other side of the glovebox, but the curvature of the lid is slightly different there, so it doesn't fit 100%. Still useable, though. There is also a bracket/hook that allows the cup holder to be attached on the center console edge, with the cup on the inside. This will impede/block usage of the screen somewhat, but in some cases one might prefer this location. I would advice to perhaps put a small piece of sticky tape to the inside of this bracket to ensure it stays in place, but it does clip over the console edge with some force, so decide for yourself. See image for approximate position, but there is some flexibility as to where to place it along the console edge, as the curvature is fairly consistent. There is one bracket for the left side of the console, and one for the right (one is a mirror of the other). There are two versions of the cup holder, the original version which can hold cups or bottles with an outer diameter of 69 mm or less, which equates to roughly 2.7", and then there is a larger version which is tapered (like many soft drink and coffe-to-go cups), where the bottom inside diameter is 72 mm (2.80 ") and the top inside diameter is 86 mm (3.38 "). The height is 67 mm (2.63 "). To check if your favourite cup will fit, measure the diameter at the base and 67 mm up from the base, and check against the size of the cup holder. For cylindrical items (like cans and bottles), they must not exceed 72 mm in diameter. This larger version will be too large for many smaller cups, so there are also reducer rings available, three fixed size and one that is adaptive. These reducers are snap fits inside the top edge of the cup holder, and can easily be removed if the full capacity is needed. The fixed reducers comes with these inner diameters: 82 mm (3.22 ") 78 mm (3.07 ") 74 mm (2,91 ") The adaptive reducer varies between 76 mm (3 ") and down to 49 mm (1. 92"). If your cups are not too large for the adaptive reducer, then that will be the preferred choice, since it also grips the cup and keeps it stable. When not in use, it can be conveniently stored in the (useless) rear cup holder of the car, and it only takes seconds to pull it out and mount it, ready for service. Note that for the larger version, the hook/bracket needs to be removed to store it here
