2018 E 300 got the sunglasses stuck inside the sunglasses holder in the headliner. I tried pretty much everything prying it open and I cannot wedge anything inside because the inside plastic of the holder is blocking any access to the sunglasses to push them out the way.

Anyone have any suggestions or experience with someone similar and how to handle it without breaking the car? At this point I'm not concerned about the sunglasses.


This is how much I am able to open it until having to apply pressure to pull it down.

what if you tap the holder (push it hard upwards) to get the sunglasses to move…?

Since you can it open as far as your photo shows, have you maybe tried to use something firm but flexible to see if perhaps you can move the obstacle out of they enough to open it. This is precisely, btw., why I don't use the eyeglass holder in my car.

Remove overhead control panel without disconnecting electrical connectors to see if you can move content to free sun glass cover.

2020 ST keep having the same issue with the glasses getting stuck. Bounced that sucker till it finally opened and then the thing fell apart. I think it's defective, hoping to get it replaced free under warranty - I will find out in 2 days when I take it in
. Ridiculous

How did you get the new one in any advice would help

I never use it — it's simply too small for most modern sunglasses, especially the wrap-around variety .

I like the glasses holder. I use it for my night vision (yellow) prescription glasses that are the same size as my regular glasses. They fit with room to spare.

I don't see why they wouldn't. The sunglasses holder on my previous 2015 C300 wouldn't stay shut; the door just kept falling down. Replaced under warrantee.
