Default cup holders are too big!

Does anyone know where you can find inserts for these HUGE cup holders in the front console of a 2006 Dakota? You put a regular-sized drink in the holder, and they fall over and spill when you take a curve. So frustrating!

Ha! That's funny. I was thinking that that the small one is too small since it won't fit my weathertech coasters correctly and the big one is too small because it won't fit my Nalgene bottle.

Sorry can't help with inserts other than maybe the WeatherTech coasters to make the big one a little smaller.

Fold your speeding tickets over and wedge them in to hold it in place.....or is that just me?

I realize that you found the levers. But if needed, you could also use a PVC coupler or big pipe section. I've done that in the past and even used a heat gun to form it to fit my big cup of coffee.
