Looking for a Nice sunglass holder for the C-Coupe

Nearly an hour on the web and can't find a decent hard case holder for my prescription sunglass. You know the type that is mounted over-head that is now common on most cars. Press to open and lock.

Any hint ???

Thanks

Same here! Never knew it was there - hadn't looked deep enough in the glove box!

Check the web for the closest location of: The SunGlass Hut. The website won't have it listed. I bought 2 of them because a sunglass holder in your glove box is pretty lame...imho...not sure if the holder applies to coupes, but I have it in my 320.

A Similar Style, but Saturn

put out your ash tray and you can store quite a lot of stuff there and fit nicely with sun glasses

i never use the sunglasses holder in the glove box because it is really badly made. I just put my sunglass in the hardcase and put it in the door pocket, much easier to reach.

I use the one in glove compartment door and it works great, out of the way and easy to get when you need them. It's easy enough to get to while driving.

I don't think they look like that on me though :]

They look much better on you. The picture of them in the glove box reminded me of the guys manning an Apollo moon mission control room.
