I got this gundam cup holder for my car but it's not secure enough to use because I have a slanted dashboard. Any other ideas of what I can do with it?

BACK THE FUCK UP
Where did you get them?

Go to any truck stop and get some slip-free pads. They keep shit from sliding around, even on sloped surfaces.

Either that, or just epoxy them to your dash. It isn't like they won't increase the value of the car.

air vent slats aren't designed to take the weight of a big cup of drink.
Do what truckerfag said and use antislip rubber stuff, or get cupholders out of a car from a scrapyard and fiberglass them into your centre console or somewhere...

/what car is it OP

I'm leasing the car so I can't do anything permanent and i don't think the antislip pads will do the job in the case of the drink tipping over.

I got the cups from this place called Tokyo Japanese lifestyle outlet

Is there anything else i can mount a cupholder to?

A decent truck stop will also have a cupholder you can mount in your window channels. They could easily be modified to accept the goufs, and I have used them to hold over 4lbs each for almost a year without failing in a semi.

you can get ones like this that clip to the window seam.
