They need a slight cut as you can see in the photo. They fit perfect but when you close the lid and open it back up it squishes it a little. I'll trim it to fit...
What I don’t like about the C7 cup holders is the middle piece (divider) is too easy to move. I wish the divider would stay (locked) in place to make one end bigger than the other end. Otherwise the C7 is perfect with the addition of a Proclip cell phone holder and the rear cargo / 3 mesh cargo netting.
Even cheaper and equally effective are black felt, stick-on, furniture foot pads available at any Target, Lowes, or Home Depot. They're also a little less visible.

Thought about that but two problems I see with that, 1) stick-on = no no for me. 2) more important those felts don't adjust to the size of the cup. So i.e. skinny coffee mug they don't work.

It's an option for sure tho
They pull on and off with no residue, it's about the same type of adhesive as "scotch tape." They also compress to adjust to any container I've ever put in them.
great but it doesn't stop the drinks from spilling, that's why I just throw a terry cloth towel in the holder, it holds the drink and covers the console if the drink does spill a little.

My solution has worked for ~3 years to allow a C7 Logo Bottle to not tilt and spill in a 1+ 'g' turn or stop. After making the bottle fit snug with soft side of Vecro strips, thought I had a solution when I got my September 2013 built C7. A few weeks later had to make a sudden stop with a full bottle of water. The center divider tilted allowing the bottle to spill water all over. Glued the divider to the base!
Recently have found and easy way to do that AND increase the depth ~3/32 inches! Removed the rubber mat under the divider. It just pulls up. Then used UV activated plastic adhesive to make a fillet from the divider to the bottom. Have all the time needed to make it neat, then turn on the UV light. Works for me.
Cover can still be closed if desired but in my case a bottle of water is always in the car when I'm driving.

Nothing will stop it, but it does secure it enough not to "dance" while the car is in motion. If your way works its definitely cheaper.
