I have found that most of the cups have shrunk and do not fit the console well leaving large gaps after gluing in. I made a wooden form slightly tapered in both directions that fits the cup very tightly. I put some black silicone in the console just below top of the opening then I use the heat gun to warm up the cup. I set the cup in the console then push the block in to stretch it to fit tightly in the opening. I leave the block for 24 hour to be sure it is set. I have been happy with the results.
I like the sound of that technique too. So black silicone like the permatex brand??
