I have a pair in the glove with a microfiber case and also one with a semihard but quiet case in the door poket. Another solution that I tried is to use the front cup holder but keep the divider in - just fold the frames under the middle divider and let the glasses rest on top. It actually fits pretty well depending on your glasses type. Works well with think plastic Oakleys. The lens are protected when you close the cover and the fit is snug. Worth a try.

I put a sunglass clip on my passenger visor.

Volvo has a pretty neat solution for this issue. When I had my C30 R-Design there was no sunglasses holder due to the Rain Sensing wipers. They offered a dealer option, which was a sunglasses holder that replaced the Holy ***** handle on the driver’s side. It was fantastic! You pulled it open, grabbed your glasses and when you let go, it closed back up by itself, just like the handles do! Wish Lexus/Toyota made this???

LOL... Not just Polarized Sunglasses... but $900 dollar Polarized sunglasses. For $900 I would hope you could see through walls, the future, or noises with those.

I would actually be kinda irritated if the car didn't not have some sort of sunglasses holder.

Same here... I was kind of irritated/disappointed to find out that it doesn't have a place for sunglasses while it does have a small hidden box by the steering wheel. I find the door pocket works fine (thanks, d!) It has a cushion pad that seems to keep the shades from moving around fairly well. My shades are not 900 worth, so I'm OK with leaving them in there.

Huge pain, I ***** about it every time I go to put on my sunglasses too...

I'll try putting them in the door pocket in their case. I've been putting them in the console but its a PITA...

Steve layer a microfiber cloth or two in the door pocket.No rattling around and/or scratching lenses.

I'll have to find a new place for my gloves! Although I won't have to worry about them for a while at least...

My wife's Transitions don't seem to work in a car due to the auto glass' blocking UV light. Is there a newer version of Transition lenses that work better now?
