Lets see to fix it they need....

1 roll of duct tape... DoD cost $900
1 length of pipe... DoD cost $1,500
1 metal coat hanger... DoD Cost $11,000

Total cost of repair: $13,400 per aircraft
480 F-35Cs to be built so $13,400 * 480 = $6,432,000

Far less than it would take to fit them with a cup holder and pez dispenser that has been suggested.
