Thumbs down Sunglass holder too small????

Okay so I have had my IS for about 3 weeks, and I haven't found much to complain about, I mean seriously, this car is a few steps shy of wiping your a*s as you drive down the road.

Has anyone noticed sunglasses have to be pretty dam small to fit in this holder. I don't wear huge sunglasses or anything but seems like with all the attention to detail, this little holder becomes a waste of space. Maybe ill cut a hole in the roof to make more room

lol, its pretty small. I haven't tried because in my past experience with other sunglass holders they never fit. Guess I have something to do tonight.

I can fit almost all my sunglasses in there.

Depending on the style, it may or not fit. Big Elton-John-or-Nicole-Richie-style sunglasses do not fit in it...

i agree! i have small glasses but the frames seem to be the issue. i dont think any car i have owned really has anything special for glasses. if you dont use the armrest compartment that is where i put mine in a case so they are out of the way.

Things like this just happen when a car is so perfect. You find the most insignificant details to complain about.

Yeah im sorry it is fairly rediculous. But i guess it is another supporting arguement for how hard it is to find a flaw with this car. Unless you grew up driving Bentley's sipping Kristal from a Golden goblet.
