Front rail cup holder with armrest??

Has anyone purchased this armrest?: http://www.mossmini.com/Shop/ViewPro...IndexID=117409


I'm trying to get an extra cup holder in the front. So I have the rear rail cup holder, but i'm putting it up front, but with the stock armrest (u know the one that cost like 300$) it hits it so the arm rest part is in an arch about 30 degree angle.

Anyone have any measurements in this after market armrest? Maybe we can get a rd cup holder after all

Overall length is 10 1/4" and overall height is 8 1/2" from the rail. I bought two of the Moss armrests and given the huge difference in cost, they are a steal. I'll try to post a pic or two tomorrow with them installed.

Measurements per your labelling are 7 1/2" length and 6" height from the rail. The measurements i gave earlier are the overall length & height. Here are some pics of my Moss armrests installed front & back.

Dude u rock. I was just gonna get that single cup holder for the rail like u already have in the rear of your car. And just wanted to make sure the arm rest goes on the way down. Looks like it'll work by your photos

A couple more photos showing the cup holder slid back underneath the arm rest. Since the front & back armrests are identical it should work in both areas. And if you look at my first set of pics, you can see a small container sitting below the front armrest. Basically i used a tray out of another vehicle i had & two-sided taped it to one of the track bases to use as a coin holder. Obviously then you can use a cup holder there too and that pic has the armrest slid forward so there is still room to slide the entire armrest back a couple of inches and still be usable.
