My cup holder is rattling, seems like more than it used to. Only rattles when I have my coffee cup in it. If I rest my hand on top of the cup the rattling stops. Anybody else have this issue? Easy fix?

Don’t drink coffe?! :dunno [emoji16]
Pull out the assembly to see if the band is still intact around the projections that hold the cup. It might have snapped.
Thanks I'll check that.
Follow up. I pulled out the assembly as John in VA advised. The rubber bands were both intact. I washed the assembly thoroughly, dried and reinstalled. That alone seems to have fixed the rattling. Keeping my fingers crossed it holds up.
My cure for the rattling cup holder:
Trenta Iced Coffee from SBUX.
I have the same rattle when I had a cup in there. I will check it out when I do a full plastic restore in the car. Vibrations from the engine are best cured with new engine mounts, yay or nay?
I replaced my engine mounts a while back. One was completely blown and leaking oil. I still get a little vibration when idling in gear sometimes like when the aux fan kicks on but it's hardly noticeable.
