2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission How did you fix your cup holder?

[ARARAR]

The bottom hinges on my cup holder broke. Seems a very common thing since I tried to find one @ a recycler and no one has one; they go fast. Has anyone been able to find a quick fix. Mine stays in place as long as it is open but vibrates. I took it apart to no avail and for now I just applied silicone along the bottom edge and hinges to hold it in place and keep it from rattling. I always keep it down anyway but don't like the thought that it's broken.

Mine broke about 10 years ago at the bottom of the hinge. I used Gorilla epoxy and washers on both sides.

Mine broke at that horse shoe hinge on the lower left just below the screw and to the left. To me, yours was an easier fix.

I took the bottom part off and use slanted cups. the holder is shallow, and I like it more without the bottom.

I have fixed many hard to find plastic parts with a fiberglass repair kit. A lot more work to make it look stock but sometimes it is the only fix.
After posting that pic I promptly went out and cleaned that cup holder, truck has not moved since September and I had no idea it was that messy ( embarrassing)
