New Surprise - Sunglasses Holder in Glovebox - C230K
Just noticed today while looking for my tire gauge there was a silver door built into the inside of the glovebox door. You cant even see it unless you almost stick your head into the glovebox. Pulled it open and found it was a compartment for a pair of sunglasses. Never saw mention of this in the owners manual and might have never known it was there. Does everyone have this? Am I the only slow one that took this long to find it. Had the car 3 months.

I've also never opened up the spare tire to see the tool kit either

If you just found the holder now; your dealer did a real shat job when you took delivery of the car....
Some dealerships are just more professional I guess.

Time spent in the dealership....15 minutes...
Time spent driving....hours (250 miles first day)
I found the sunglass thing the second day when I was deciding where to put the CD changer.

I have a 2005 C230 and I want to know if this "Glove box Sunglass case / storage case" will work in my car. I see I can order it - there seems to be NO location for it in my car - unless mounting locations are hidden under the flecked lining. Can some one with this "option" post a picture or two - I am curious about it. Thank you, Jake
It seems in a cost reduction M-B took away the fresh air center grille thub wheel and this case...among other things I am sure...

Where did you get that exploded view of that? Also, If no one beats me to it, I'll run out to my car and take a picture with my cell phone.
EDIT: Okay, here are the pictures, it was kinda hard to get in there to take them, but you can get the general idea. Also, if their quality is bad, sorry, they were taken from my cell phone.

Thank you PA Pete! I wonder if that can be added in - or if they modified / retooled the mold to close off that cavity...I do not have that cavity, or do I???

What's funny is, I don't have that sunglass holder on the top of the glovebox (I think due to my cd changer).
