I hardly ever used my 01's holders, but the last time I did...
going out a parking lot onto a road, and being careful not to jar the car, the covered coffee went flying. It spilled into the HVAC subsequently causing the display to go haywire. In spite of pulling it forward and trying to dry it out over about a week the display still had problems. I went to the dealer for a replacement and they told me I would have to pay for the replacemenit. I pointed out that the drink holder had been redesigned since '01, indicating the original had an inherent design flaw. The HVAC was replaced under warranty. Some time after, I had the holder unit removed, the HVAC moved up to be more ergonomic, and a storage binnacle installed at the bottom, thus making up a little for the lack of a glove compartment.
