Sunglasses holder

Mike24 · 4th August 2015, 08:58

For some time now I've been thinking what a good idea it would be to have a holder for my sunglasses; at the moment they live in the centre console storage compartment, but they are not doing well there. I've seen that the holder from some of the Ford models can be fitted, but have been surprised that they should be (for what they are) so expensive. I wondered if anyone had found anything else that fitted or come up with and alternative solution?

I have a "Chinese" Ford Focus one fitted in the 1.8T. Took a wee bit modification, don't know if a pukka Ford one would an easier fit.

I just put mine behind the grab handle, it holds them against the roof. I don't wear them often, and they're not Ray Bans

Good idea; unfortunately I have a Mk 2 - no driver's grab handle.

Something like this would be alright in cream:
