Default Swing Cup Holder Broke

The swinging cup holder in my 99 Z28 broke. Well it didnt break off, but it wont stay open anymore. If i put something in it and turn the car the cub holder will try to close and i have spilled pop before. Is there anyway to fix this?

its for the better, i hate those things. I've spilled my soda more then once by keep my drink there. What you have to do is just keep your hand on that drink or don't put it there at all. My does the same thing. I put my soda there and if i don't put my hand on the soda, it will lean back and if im not carefull it will spill. I hate that crap. If there a fix i don't know. But holding the drink in place helps.

I use the cupholder in the console for drinks, more stable and closer to hang on to around a corner if needed. BK fry pods fit well in that swing out cupholder though.

He's an M6. You can't shift worth **** with a Super Swig in the console.

How the hell can you spill a drink by using the swingy holder?! I did doughnuts in a parkinglot, then blasted off out of ther, squeeled through the corner and came to a sudden stop at the light with a full cup in there. No spills.

You know when you swing the cup holder out it kinda locks in place. Well it doesn't lock anymore. It just swings all around.

I have found that a can of chew fits nicely in that swing cup holder, maybe thats what gm really intended it for, because it sure as hell is a shitty cup holder NO LEFT TURNS with a drink installed.
