I just picked up my first GX470. Some jack wagon threw a big rock through the window to steal a $30 backpack. Damaged the steering wheel console, seat, window , and track.
I'm trying to straighten it all out.
First I'm tackling the cup holder. Dang insert is busted. Plus, the lid doesn't work because the posts in the housing are broken.
1. Is this just an Arizona problem, or do other regions have problems too?
2. Does anyone know of a replacement insert that sits flush with the console, like I have it positioned in the pic? Maybe I can design a 3D printed one if there's a market for it. I've seen the ones that overlap it. Not really as sleek a design as I prefer.
3. How do I find an interior paint code? The previous owner wasn't exactly Picasso with the touch up paint.

I have the same problem with the 470 I just purchased today. The cars been in Virginia its whole life. Tracking for a fix...
 
Those oem stock cup holders don’t hold your cups very well. A few of us have added an insert to hold cup much better and renders the lid inoperable.

So, I would just get an insert to improve the functionality of actually holding taller cups better and forgo the lid.

I saw a few different options. Which one did you use?
 
I bought mine over 5 years ago when there were hardly any options.

I bought one called Tsumara cup holder for GX470.

Thanks for the reaponse. I like the look of the Taumara. Didn't know that it made the lid inoperable, so that's a positive, too.
The price is $38, and they're sold out, so I will have to keep looking.
