Sunglasses Storage
I am just curious as to how everyone stores their sunglasses. I just got my car and one thing that really bothers me is there is no place to store sunglasses. Both of my other vehicles have sunglasses storage built in. My 99 has it but an 09 Mercedes doesnt?
Let me know. And if you have pictures that would be great. Thanks.

Daily use clip-ons in standard eyeglass case in center console storage. Oakleys (if ever needed) in glovebox in the large rounded case, but they don't get much usage as non-prescription lenses.

What's funny is, my wife's car has a sunglass holder, but she never uses it because it's not the right size for her sunglasses. They look like they're more for holding glasses that are slimmer when folded - like reading glasses.

Talking about storage, the back door storage pocket is too small almost like a joke. I wish the door armrest is a little higher so the storage could be made a little deeper. Front door storage is ok.

It's a step in the right direction at least. My W203 had no door storage for the back seats.

With the arms opened, I stick my sun glasses under the sun-visor... In the slight chance that I have to flip my visor down, then by definition, it is sunny and the sunglasses are on my face.

The ray bans stay in a case in the glove compartment. A little annoying to get to, but I really don't want to screw up the polarized lens by dropping it in the center storage with all my other misc. objects. I got a scratch on my oakleys doing that, the lens are polarized fire orange or something and they have a most annoying "reflection" type thing going on where the scratch is.
Anyone notice that if you move your head side to side with polarized lenses on the pop-up screen looks like it is going on and off.

There is an original Mercedes sunglasses holder that gets swapped with the drivers grabhandle. It looks like this:

If this is Euro equipment not sold in the US, it cannot be ordered from MBUSA, unfortunately.
