(and yes, my cupholder also came off back in Monterey!)

The hoole is actually smaller .. Jeremy took a close up picture but your really have to look for the hole ... I tried to rotate the bar but is firm and doesn't move. I might try something creative to fill the hole but it really doesn't bother me much..

I've heard "baby seat", but I'm sure actual GP owners will confirm/correct. Seems kinda ironic and silly to even think about carrying a baby in a limited edition GP... and to put that clip in EVERY GP? HAH!

Yep, baby seat. The bar is for no other purpose, just interior bling. Not a strut brace, not for harnesses. Go figure.

I may drill out the fixing rivet and just rotate the clip down and to the side....my thought is if you ever needed to bungee something in th e cargo area it would be easy to slide into a location and clip to it......just a thought?
