ok, since some of us who have "SOS" button, where the sunglass holder is, I was wondering if you have found an alternative to a holder. I know I can get those little clip on visor holders, but I don't really want to have those little indentations in the visor. Of course, if there are no other alternatives, then I may have to. I once had one of those little plastic holders that hang on your rear view mirror, that can hang you sunglasses, but I can't find those.

Also, have you found a nice garbage container, small enough to fit under the console in that little opening?

EDIT:
Measurements for the opening at the bottom of the center console:
Length: 9 1/2"
Width: 7 1/4" (shortest point) - 8 1/4" (longest point)
Height: 3 1/2" (shortest point) - 6 1/2" (tallest point)

Measurements for center console compartment:
Length: 6 1/2"
Width: 4 3/4"
Deep: 6"

I usually place them on the sunvisor, or you can use the space under the shift ****. I have a trash container that you can place behind your back rest where you just loop the velcro strap around the neck of the headrest.

Yeah, I don't like the ones behind the back rest. Too hard to reach around. For sunglasses, I was thinking of getting those sticky pads and placing it in front of the Nav screen.

Yeah, I've looked around "everywhere" for one of those rigid plastic litter boxes that sit on the floor with little weighted outrigger "feet" that keep it from falling over. Haven't been able to find one - I guess they're no longer made.

I'm not a fan of fabric-type litter bags or boxes.

Trash container?
The windows roll down, don't they?

Sunglasses--they hang around my neck, suspended at the two ends of those cloth things that have ends that slip over the ends of the glasses and grip them. Works real well--I always have the glasses available when needed. When I go someplace to eat, I flip them around back so they don't load up with crumbs

Trash--I don't need a trash container--what trash do people generate? The only trash in our car is the occasional dirty Kleenex, and they get put in a pocket, or in the door. Those fold out door places are really built-in trash containers, aren't they?? Easy to empty when they fold out.

I'm thinking about picking up one of these for my car - they're kind of cute

I was thinking it might fit inside the door panel area, but if not, I'll just hang it.

For sunglasses, I either use the drivers side left-side cup holder or the little left side section of the glove box to keep them in. But I live in Washington, where sunglasses are rarely, if ever, needed.

I love the sunglass holder on my '04 RX, and noticed that it was gone on the new model. Just rode in a new Audi A6, and it has the holder above the mirror just like the RX used to, and that's a pretty high end car. My SC, of course, has no such place, being a convertible, so I use the center console and do not find it a problem, and you really need sunglasses in a convertible. I'm not sure what my point is here, or even if one is required, but the lack of the handy holder above the mirror is pretty low on my list of things that **** me off.
As for the trash bags, I agree that the allysonhill bags look very, very nice, and it's interesting that we will gladly pay $20.00 for something pretty that does the job of the free bag you get at the grocery; that's why we are different from the beasts of the field.

EricaD

So true, tfischer! But the way I see it, an ugly brown plastic safeway bag looks just as bad as the trash that goes in it, lol, so I want my trash hidden in a pretty accessory and am willing to pay $20 to get it. After all, if you amortize that $20 over decades of car use (since the bag can be used forever and moved from car to car), it's a pretty cheap way of keeping the car looking nice inside - no more of my daughter's sticky fruit leather wrappers stuffed into the cup holders, or ugly plastic grocery store bags at our feet.

I'm thinking Eiffel Towers for my car, and soccer ***** for the hubby's Prius, and do I NEED the matching kleenex cozy? I think I might...

wyau01

That's what I did for my sunglasses.

I put the trash on the passenger side so I can just reach behind it, not hard at all. There's hardly anyone riding with us on the backseat so the idea of it hanging behind the backrest keeps the look of clutter free.

yahj

my sunglasses fits perfectly inside door handle.

happy1977

^That's one small sunglass.

sweetboy02

Using sticky pad also. Let me know if anyone find a better trash bag than the link above, That one looks too girly. :-p

EricaD

Not if you're a girl!

PS - I think she does a plain black one. That's quite macho, methinks.
