Where do you put your sunglasses?

Admittedly this isn't a real problem but I wish our car had one of those pop down headliner places for sunglasses. I usually put them on top of that little slide open door over the cigarette lighter but when it is dark out they get stowed in the center console.

Any better ideas? Minor issue but just wondering...

Mine go in the compartment on the front of the seat where the first aid kit is. I can also keep a toothbrush and toothpaste in there. Works perfectly for me.

I keep an emergency pair in the armrest and usually find myself leaving them in the ashtray. Well I pulled the ashtray and and just leave the cover open and usually stick them in there. I don't like doing it with the nicer frames because of the risk of scratching the lens. Lately I've been leaving one side of the console open for easy access.

The flip down would be cool and convenient. I tried the map pocket on the door but the fell out once and that was it for the map pocket.

Unfortunately, the C63 does not have that secret compartment. No where to hide things. I was spoiled by the compartment on my W211.

Hans, I know that took a lot of courage to admit.

Yeah, I realized after I posted my reply that I posted in the C63 forum. LOL! The compartment on the W211 does come in handy, however.

One with 4 wheels
When I'm parking the car in the garage when I go home, I stick my Ray-Bans back in the case, and it goes into the upper-half of the center console.

$200.00 sunglasses is not worth being lazy over and risk scratching:

1.) My interior.
2.) The glasses itself.

I've got one of those things that clips onto the visor. It holds the arms of your shades and snaps in place.

We have black ones at the dealership with the Mercedes symbol on them.

First 2 guys to PM me their addresses, i'll send free ones (Canadians only).

Depending on how many miles you got in your car, the spider might come in handy...

I keep mine in the cup holder. I never park outside, so no console storage. I keep mine away from the console/ashtray cover since its CF.
