Recently my dad was driving the falcon (gone up a step from the VY, LOL). He had a an of coke in the cup holder and hit the brakes. It threw the can of coke all over the dash and carpet.
My question is, what can i do to fix up the cup holders in the EF/EL?

probably, but the cupholders suck ring.....i know that whenever brakes are applied they fall down and release the contents to the rest of the interior

Good old E series cupholders!!
Be greatful u got them at all, remember EF were the the 1st ones put in, so ford wasnt 100% sure HOW to make USEFUL holders! Just get used to the brake/hold top of drink manover like all the rest of us

ok here's what i just did and it works like a bloody charm,
heated up the locking arms just enuff so i could bend them in slightly, then i grabbed the trusty old Dremel and just etched in the grooves a bit more aggresivly so it "LOCKED" into placed well. the pic with my hand in it you can see i have applied a heap of pressure and it still stays up. i think even my X-drilled and slotted with braided lines are gonna have trouble gettin 2 large cokes from maccas to tip.

yes with a little extra bit of force but nothing bad, it's like it's been re sprung.
have to go to maccas now to test it
