It's for cards. Like a dry cleaning ticket. I keep my carwash membership card in mine. You might be able to fit a gate card for an apartment/business in if the card isn't too thick.

Am I the only one that thinks it is stupid that it's on the outside of the visor instead of inside? I want to use it for a gas card, but having it visible is asking for someone to break into my car.

I kind of figured it was for cards or envelopes.

I put parking ticket stub or slip in a couple buck$ so that I don't have to pull my wallet out if I know I'll be passing through a toll booth.

They are an acoustic feature for the ML system. A lot of people use them to store cards. It was in one of the brochures when the car first came out.

Although I wish they made them a slot for an extension or something when the sun is on my side. I noticed the GS350 loaner I drove had the feature that the visor pulls out further when extension is needed..
