Rear Passenger Cupholder

Organist · 19-05-2006, 09:15

I have a 19TDI Elegance spec Octavia 2. Should there be a cup/can holder for the rear seat passengers or not?

There is only an ashtray in mine, which (although large) is no use to me as I don't smoke and neither would any passengers I might take in the car!

I notice that the manual shows a flip-down cup holder, however.

I can't see a cup holder in the parts cat. I can see two variations though, one which looks to be storage and one which looks to be storage and ash tray.

My L&K has neither cup holder nor ash tray in the back, just a 'storage compartment'. No problem, my kids don't drink or smoke ... yet....

I'm sure I also read somewhere un the Skoda literature that there was a rear cupholder, but too only have an ashtray.

I think its available with the non-smokers pack (Gaff should be able to vereify it - as he got it on his)

Mine has the storage compartment although I understand there might be an alternative 'option' which includes a cup holder although I've not seen it!.

Mines a storage compartment.

I have a '06 Elegance, and do not have a rear cupholder. I concur that the manual shows a holder in the rear compartment. My 5 year old is obsessed with the need for a cup holder - even though he has two in his car seat.

Like father like son - has to have everything, find something missing that he could have (and has literature to prove it).

I get the feeling it's not going to be an option for the UK Spec car ?

stumpy1 · 13-08-2006, 17:13

My 06 L&K has no cupholder in the back either, isn't it funny how important we now see these devices. Mind you, we've just ordered 50 grands worth of E class which has none in the front but two in the back. Work that out!

Johnnyc · 13-08-2006, 17:16

It's yet another non UK spec item we don't get as standard even though they didn't remove reference to it in the UK owners manual although i'm surpised that Gaff's car didn't get the rear cup holder.

I'm not too sure whats in the back of mine, I got mixed up above...I thought the guys were referring to the front ashtray, I'll check later.

bub · 13-08-2006, 22:05

I too have the elegance, Surprise Surprise.... No rear cup holder.

Mine is definitely a storage compartment, I checked it on the way back from Lunch..I'm working. It was too far to walk to the carpark earlier

To be honest I don't think a cup holder would last too long in the back before someone would end up removing it whilst getting into the car...thats if it were there & left open

There is possible to order holder for large bottle.
But dont know if its possible to order as separate and not factory order.
I have small compartment also, would have wanted that bottleholder
for rear passengers.

Ordered this today. Out of stock, but told it shouldn't be too long

?! Has anyone fitted one yet or got any photos of it in situ? Or has any one got any instructions on how to do the swap?
