D --

Last year I got the same kind as Ken C. Then I got the cloth/vinyl cover from the 240 armrest that does not have the drink holders, and customized it to fit over the Ken C type, to make it cushier. The fabric (blue Trico Plush), matches my door liner fabric. IMHO it was a good upgrade.

The one thing I didn't like about the drink holder assembly was that it wouldn't stay shut. So I fastened a slim strip of steel to the top inner bracket, and electric taped a slim magnet to the front "door". Now it's got just the right amount of magnetic pull to stay closed, but still easy to open.

It's the little things that make a difference, ya know?
