Rear Cup Holders
I don't know if this has been done a thousand times before, but it came out pretty nicely. So I thought I would share it.
I found on Amazon.
And I installed them like this:
There are six screw holes inside, but you only use four. I chose the four closest to the outside. I removed one of the door panels to make sure I wouldn't drill into anything important. I found that if you mount it in the spot I did, you won't harm anything.
So I didn't have to remove the second door panel. It literally took 5 minutes to install. See this picture for locating dimensions.
Of course I can't guarantee the inside of your your panels will be the same as mine. If anyone wants to do this, be sure of what you are doing. On mine, a '98 Classic, The wiring for the windows runs right down between where I drilled. Plenty of space. And the screws are only going into the plastic door panel and sound insulation, not into the metal door frame.

If I had large adults frequently riding in back, I might be inclined to adapt something so I could attach them to the back of the center console. I held them there, and two will fit side by side. It would just require some sort of bracket. And I don't think the installation would look as clean.

Im gonna bolt one of those bad boys on the pass side of my center console for my drink! I think a passenger would rather have a cupholder intruding on their leg room than hold my coffee or whatever wherever we go! lol;

I should mention that with my kids in the back seat, there's plenty of room with the cup holders open. But when I sat back there, at 6'1", my leg touches it. It wasn't too bad, but just so you know.
