Ken,
I'm amazed you found 3 others to see - I've been looking for a manual transmission Crossfire and not had much luck locally.
My son's cupholder was loose, so he just took it out and was using the black hole/pocket as a cubby for his phone, so that seemed to work. But we did get lucky at a Lockport junkyard and found a wrecked roadster with a working cupholder! $20 (and lots of effort) later, we're back to factory functionality. There are posts here on how to tear apart the trim to replace it, and other posts on alternatives that mount elsewhere, but I can't see the point in mounting one behind your elbow or shoulder.
