I rarely have people in the back seat and created a "throne" for my dog to lay. (see: Throne for my dog ) but sometimes he wants to stand up an his paws can get caught in the rear cupholders. I finally decided to make a modification to make it easier and safer. I am a woodturner so the cylinders are turned from some scrap cherry and are held together with a dowel. easy to pull out (along with the throne) when I carry people in the back.

How much?

I'll buy one from you. 🤔
I'm flattered but it's not something I want to make and sell. Others are free to copy my idea. seems like someone with a 3d printer could come up with something. the pad on the top could also be done with a small piece of carpeting.

Looks brilliant! I would want one to use when I have my sister and her dogs riding along (she will NOT let them ride in the open bed!). The towel we use never stays in place for long.

Nice one. I have a similar situation. My old blind cattle dog moves from front to back seat and navigating the cup holders was tricky. I did find this solution on Etsy and it works pretty well. Not as sturdy as yours but a single piece of 3D printed plastic that does the trick.

Looks slick, makes me want to by a 3D printer 🤣

Definitely don't want those dogs in my truck with what I have in the cup holders lol.

Chinese finger lock sound familiar? Keeps cups from sliding around.

This is neat do you happen to have a link for these 'finger cup traps'?
