Mines the same way, but I only drink milk and water. So I never use the cupholders anyway, the only thing it holds is my sunglasses that I use for driving in sun glaring weather. Where can I get the little thing for holding my change? lol

For some reason I'm thinking that I saw a rubber insert that fits in there perfectly.


I have a 99 as well and have also mastered 1 handed driving.

From Ford, let me go look at the part number It'll probably be under $25... The change cup is awesome.

Edit: Here's three pictures. I took it inside because it's cold outside. Part number F8C6-5404788 Mold #1598 ADW

You can be one of the few with a change cup, lol

There's a couple other numbers on it but I do not think they are of any use.

That's exactly what I've had to resort to - bottled beverages. My cupholder has become the space between my seat and door panel ... that seems to fit a bottle no problem. I repeat ... WHAT THE CRAP, FORD?

Wow that's weird, is that really a gap on the side? My 03's was not real secure for cups even though it was solid on all sides, so I got this:

Now things fit in nice 'n tight - it feels rubberized inside or something. Don't know how it would work w/ yours though, maybe get the black insert mentioned earlier and dress it up with this for fun.
