I am still very happy with mine. It is the best accessory I have installed so far! You're gonna wonder how you lived without it for so long!

Ok so I have to ask....how much weight can it hold without bending or coming unclamped? I am interested in getting one cause I can't fit 44oz fountain drinks in the stock cupholders lol

I have held two large McD's drinks in the holder that I have. It is very sturdy. I do have it clamped tight, and check it often. I would not worry about one drink that size.

That Brica snack holder was the best investment I have ever spent on my Bug. Thanks!

Where do you guys buy these miracle cup holders? I need one bad for large morning coffee's

Are they easy to install or do I need to take it to the dealer
What was Volkswagon thinking with those totally useless cupholders they put in those Beetle's?

It wasn't even a minute more like 30 seconds! It's practically idiot-proof. Comes with a handy snack carrier too lol

true. i pulled the snack carrier, so it'll hold a good sized drink cup on one side, and my stainless steel coffee mug, or cellphone, or iPod in the snack holder side.

Target is also carrying them. I picked mine up yesterday. The chicken bar has room for two of them if you really need a lot of drink capacity.
