My 1990 didn't have with an insert either when I bought it - just the ash tray. But honestly, it seems wrong, as it is easy for stuff to fall through the hole when the tray is open and the console bezel screw is showing. So I bought a couple of the liners from corvette central. They are really flimsy but get the job done.

I was also missing those little triangle inserts for the seat position switches, which made me think the cup holder liner was also lost to time and neglect.

They ALL had them. They were easy to get lost. If you ever drank a 12 oz can of soda or your favorite adult beverage they tended to stick to the can. If you forgot and threw the can away there goes the can condom in the trash. As big John stated any maintenance Work especially removing the shift console plate they tend to get lost. They hide the screw and are great for coins. They should have been in every C4 at delivery the entire ZR-1 model year run

Normally the triangle inserts.. called light covers by GM were easily vacuumed up by folks cleaning up the console area. Trying to get dirt and grime out of those voids lines along by sides of the switches. If you are not doing the cleaning nobody is going to stop to pull the vacuum bag for recovery. When I bought my 90 it was missing the light covers as well.

With respect Sir...… based on my 1 owner 1990 they Did Not have a cup insert. My '90 was never out of my sight from the moment it rolled off the Carrier Truck at the dealer. Just a little anal about the ZR1 arrival ;;ya think!!

The screw is in the forward “hole” where the ashtray insert should go,
placing it closer to the cigarette lighter.
New cars have neither.

Nobody doubts you didn't get one. However these are soft goods and dealer prep items. Just like the console book, floor mats, demo cassettes and yes the rubber console cup. It was up to each dealer to make sure these went with every new sale. Sometimes THAT does not happen. However it was Susposed to have one. GC

Daryll...…. I think you have the correct Description of the "Cup Holder" issue

Without the cup rubber insert the "cup holder" definitely looks incomplete and loose change would definitely find its way under the console as I have observed many times when removing the console. I forget which "cup holder" contains the cigarette holder which cigarette holder I always replace with the rubber cup holder insert.

And you are also correct as I have tossed several soda cans with the rubber cup holder attached

Anyone know where NCRS officially stands on this important subject?

I have no clue where NCRS stands on this subject, but it is attracting so much attention I better get me one!
I guess I have always needed a "Can Condom" (as GOLDCYON calls them), just didn't know I did!!!
