Default Sunglasses holder

Am I the only one that thinks the sunglasses holder could be larger....I can barely fit my Versace in it and I can't fit my Gucci that is only slighter larger...it appears to be used for holding a joynt or condoms more than sunglasses...

wow those are expensive sunglasses. But wouldn't the heat warp the sunglasses?

I had sunglass holder like the Lexus IS on my Sentra Spec V and it gets really hot after parking in the sun. Most sunglasses tend to warp with intense heat.

In the manual, it also mentions this too.

I leave my Raybans in my glove box where it stays nice and cool.

My LVs wouldn't fit but that's not a problem anymore because they got stolen!

LV must make some gigantic sunglasses. All my Gucci and Ray-Ban sunglasses fit just fine.

Mine does not fit depth wise. They are not huge glasses, but they are convex and not flat.

Perhaps this would have more room: http://www.l-tunedparts.com/product/?id=2168

$200+ for a plastic box. Lexus FTW.

My Marc Jacobs shades fit okay, as well as my Giorgio Armanis. Unfortunately, they both dont fit, so its kind of annoying when I have one pair in the holder, and the other one in the glove box.

My glasses only fit at a certain angle and I usually have to press 2 or 3 times for it to open when they are in there. I usually leave them in the cup holder.
