Volkswagen Beetle (Classic) Cup Holder Insert

This is the kind of cup holder insert that dealers only sell as part of a whole assembly — if they can supply it at all for a Volkswagen Beetle (Classic) these days. With your sample on the bench this is a realistic reproduction job.

This is the kind of cup holder insert that dealers only sell as part of a whole assembly — if they can supply it at all for a Volkswagen Beetle (Classic) these days. With your sample on the bench this is a realistic reproduction job.

Why these break

Divider flaps and spring arms snap off. Vibration fatigue does the damage: thousands of small flexes add up to a crack at the stress point, usually right where the part clips or pivots.

How we reproduce them

Bring in the broken part and we'll reverse engineer it — usually with a design tweak that addresses why it failed in the first place, not just a copy of the weak original.

We print these in PETG. PETG has a little give in it, so it snaps into place like the original and shrugs off the knocks that shattered the old part.

Many plastic parts can be recreated, repaired, redesigned, or printed, depending on size, load, heat, material, and available samples. Bring in the damaged part or upload photos for assessment and we'll give you a straight answer before any work starts.
