Yea, I worry about that too, but after many years, it's not a problem (knock on wood). I close the top forward when I have a bottle w/ cap and such, with a cup or 12 oz. can, you can close it completely. If the hinge breaks, I'll add the Hinge rebuild kit which is much stronger than the OEM one anyway. I already have it on the shelf.
Truth is, I don't do much drinking and driving - lol
so it's not in constant use.
When my wife and I go for a cruise, we usually bring along the small Porsche mini-cooler (which we won as a door prize at one of the local dealer's open house):
This will hold 3 cans or 2-20oz. bottles. It fastens to the passenger side footwell, is powered by the cig. lighter in the car, and actually works pretty well. Because of this, we are only using the cupholders when we are actually drinking the drinks anyway.
