Had the ones in the picure on my mk 5, not so good.

The beauty of the bottle opener/ slide drawer type is you can slide back the drawer to fit/grip any bottle or can size you want.

That's true hadn't thought about it like that. Although you are stuffed if there are 2 cups in there  :wink:

Option 2 though, slide the bottle opener down to meet the fist cup/bottle and then the side down to the next one. Problem solved  :laugh:

No cup holder in the rear arm rest they in the Front arm rest at the back...

Didn't think of that myself, I admit.

Sorry makes no sense to me  :cry:
With the bottle opener in the middle, how can it be slid both ways?

Look at the back of the front seats or armrest.  They're there somewhere.  You can even use them if the rear arm rest isn't folded down.

They are rubbish though. The ones in the armrest would have been a lot handier IMHO.
