Ok, I have tried all 3 pairs of sunglasses I own and NONE of them fit in the overhead sunglass storage area. Is this a joke? Why didn't they make this thing deeper? I have to store my glasses in the center console and they barely fit with everything else in there.

I just don't get it. It's a waste of space. I guess if this is one of my only complaints, I can consider myself lucky.

Anyone else feel the same way?

Mike,

If you have no wind noise, diesel engine noise, no trans oddities, none of the other issues, I'd say storing your glasses is a minor issue, but only by comparison to all other issues you could have.

May I suggest you use one side of your drink holder for this purpose or remove the drink holder seperator plastic and use that entire area for all kinds of storage.

Happy T-day!

It might serve you well to not take styling tips from Carrie Donovan when purchasing sunglasses?

If they made the compartment large enough for her sunglasses, my Maui Jims would get lost in there.

I've seen some clips that go on the visor that make it easy to attach sunglasses?

Ons...OMG that was too funny.....ROTFL..

Somehow I don't think Mike's are like Ms. Channings.

I have the same problem with my sun glasses. I have been able to flip them around several times until they lay in a certain position that the door closes and my glasses are not damaged.

Toyota and Lexus needs to wake up!! I have the same issue with the holder in my wife's Toyota Sienna van. It has the same silly design.

MD,

See ons post, we have inquiring minds now.

Maybe we need a sunglass poll, something like this.

My choice in sun eyeware is similar to:

A-Carol Channing
B-Dame Edna
C-Elton John
D-Bono
E-Clint Eastwood

I agree completely. My sunglasses are in the side pocket on the driver's door because they won't fit in that stupid overhead bin.

In fact, on the second day of ownership I stuffed my glasses in the bin and then couldn't get it open. I ended up taking the car back to the dealer and they got my glasses out, breaking the compartment in the process. They had to replace the enitre overhead console.

So yeah, the sunglasses holder is a complete waste of space.

Some are experiencing problems with their sunglasses fitting in the holder provided.

Here is a poll that may reveal reasons for same and some may offer alternatives for placement.

I tried to be light hearted about this issue but if your's do not fit nicely in the holder, not selecting that option does register in total of percentages.

Do I see a pattern developing here with Lexus drivers prefering Maui Jims over other brands? I can not live without mine!!! Keep those usually in the original zipup case

I have a pair sitting in front of me that I bought in 1997, was just wearing them today... The eye doc was making fun of me for having them so long, it convinced me to buy another pair, but I like the old ones better.

Ditto! Can't go a day without my MJ titanium Kapalua. They fit in the overhead compartment nicely too.

Dame Edna...

Haven't heard about her for a while...

ES350Bob

Philip...don't know how you found pic of him/her but it is easy to see those glasses and sun version would be a tight fit in the old holder.

No problems with fitment. Just remember to close the door after retrieving or stowing your glasses as it blocks the rear view mirror nicely.
