Default Drink Holder Problems?

Hey everyone, 1991 f150 hee. With a full bench seat. I bought this drink holder http://www.walmart.com/ip/Rubbermaid...nizer/23751978

and I'm having trouble figuring out how to moun it. It needs to be mounted somehow because the transmission hump makes it unstable, and I can't put it in the seat because my girl sits in the middle. I have it fastened with velcro right now but it's still wobbly. I want something that will make it stable but I don't want to have to drill into it! Help!?

Do you have two studs sticking out of the front of your bench seat?

a few of these and you will be golden, there is nothing below them you have to worry about hitting(unless you use a 4-5" screw,lol) about a 1.5" screw and you will be good.

I tried using these for my last drink holder but they never would go through the floor. I don't know why.

I'll post some pics up later

if they wouldnt go through the floor you need A: longer bolts or B: push down on the drill harder, it is tough getting trough the carpet/vinyl and pad under it. if your not using a drill you will never get them in.

Here's a pic of my drink holder. I'm thinking now the velcro will do for now. I might try the screws in the future. Thanks everyone

Maybe you just passed over my last response/question. Does your seat have two studs in the front center that stick out? If so, Ive read from different sources that they are there to hold a factory cup holder setup. IF you have them maybe you could incorporate them to make yours more stable

I can't see the pics, but I meant pics of the girl that sits next to you when I asked anyway. Haha.
