This item is the bracket portion of the OpenSourceEV NextGen Aux Cupholder. Please note that this does not include the cup portion - those are available separately or in the combo part available here: https://opensourceev.com/products/nextgen-aux-cupholder.
There are multiple versions of the mounting bracket available:
Front Door (High) - UPDATED
The window bracket lets you hang a cup holder from the windowsill. There is a small gap with weather stripping it fits into, separate from where the window is. When it's installed it sits a few millimeters away from the window and does not affect its use. The wood trim on the doors protrudes slightly beyond everything else, so the bracket is designed to rest on the leather portion to not scratch the wood.
This newer, updated design of the high front door hanger is twice as wide to be more stable. Check out the last few photos to see what it looks like. If you've purchased the earlier version, you can upgrade to the wider version for $1 + shipping. Please contact us for details.
Rear Door (High) - UPDATED
The rear door bracket is similar to the front door model, but it's longer to account for the deeper rear doors.

Door Pocket (Front / Rear R1S Only)
This attaches to most door pockets. It works on all front doors, and the rear doors of the R1S. It does not work on the rear doors of the R1T. It's designed to be long and squeeze the ridged door pockets for stability.
Rear (R1T Only)
This installs over the front of the under seat storage of the R1T. Fold up the drivers side and slide it over the front to install in place.
Center Console (Passenger)
This wedges itself between the trim pieces on the storage area in front of the center console. It works best to attach it by angling it up by about 45 degrees, hook the back onto the edge, then while holding the clip firmly onto the edge, lower the cup. About halfway down it should snap down the rest of the way as the bracket slides between the two trim pieces.
Importantly - be careful installing this. If you move the passenger seat forward enough, it can jam on the cup holder and potentially twist and deform the plastic it installs into.
This product is a very slightly updated version of the Rivian Cup Holder Clips, made by Todd Stansell. Sold by permission of the author. You can download the design here.
Customers praised this bracket as a "great addition" for Rivian middle row cupholders, with mix-and-match options for doors and cup sizes. However, door clips flex excessively and don't make adequate contact, causing bounciness. Rear door brackets "straight up fall off." Needs improved clip design for stability.
Overall they work pretty well. The high holder has a tendency to pop off if there is not a drink in it. Lower one works fine. My biggest negative has to do with the picture of the product and the completed order sheet. It left me with the impression that I was going to get 4 cup holders.
NextGen Aux Cupholder bracket is a needed pair with the cup and a great addition to the Rivian
Best option for cup holders in a Rivian, hands down. BUT the door clips flex too much because they don’t make contact far enough down the side of the door. I think the clips are designed this way so that they don’t touch the wood trim… fair enough. However, without touching the wood trim (or at least coming closer to the trim) they are very bouncy. The rear door brackets straight up fall off. If they fixed this, then they’d be 10/10. I love that they are mix and match for the doors and for different cup sizes but I really want them to fix this issue
I purchased the newer designed holder with the High Rear door hanger. It falls off instantly because it doesn't clamp strongly or deeply enough into the window seal crevice.
Hi Dev - Thanks for the review. This is not expected behavior, and our testing (as recently as this week) has confirmed that this mount works properly in multiple years of Rivian vehicles. There is a potential that you received a defective item - please contact us so we can get a replacement out to you.
Don’t have pictures but they work perfectly as advertised. I got the center console large & the front pocket large and my 40oz thermoflask (from Costco) fit perfectly. Highly recommended to anyone who doesn’t like having their big water bottle obstruct the buttons on the screen.
Moreover, they sent the wrong clip for the front pocket cup holder and responded within an hour with a new replacement order. 10/10!
