Default Sun Glass Holder

Has anyone got a sun glass holder recommendation?
Limited easily-accessible storage means they are usually on the passenger seat when not in use.
The door side holder is not much use either.

I have one that attaches to the sun visor. It works well enough that I've not looked for a replacement.

On our '14 Vert, we keep the sunglasses in the meshed net on the inside of the lid of the between-the-seats storage area. Long as they are in a soft case, you can fit TWO in the stretchy-net.

I think that storage was part of an option package tho'.

Coupes don't have that, but we do have an open cubby above that. I like to have my sunglasses available within two seconds or so, and that's not a convenient spot.

I keep a case for sunglasses in my door pocket, but honestly, I just don't use it. I end up putting them in the cupholder most of the time.

I want to be able to put them on and take them off in a couple of seconds as I com into and out of the glare. Cupholders? I wish there were none. I'd rather have useful storage; useful for someone that allows no beverages in the car. Especially with the 6MT, the center cupholders need to be a cubby with a cover. I guess the auto folks get a sliding cover. We don't.

Great minds think alike, see this thread and my post #5, : https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/f...insert-242790/
But it seems the pesky cupholders don't come out so easy on the MT, maybe you can figure out a way to do it?
If/when you do it's a five minute job to measure, cut and fit a piece of carpet to line the hole.

I didn't, it's a flip up lid that retracts below cubby height. And leaves a nice gap to drop keys into (never to be recovered!) while it's retracting.

These hastily taken pictures s%$k but this is THE perfect solution; yet another gift from my Jaguar dealer and my very dear friend Ron McIntyre, General Sales Manager of Jaguar Land Rover Scarborough (Maine). He gave me two, one for me and my car and one for my wife and hers. (Although I have fours cars!).



The material where the frames of the sunglasses sit is a soft foam.

Obviously meant to go on the visor

It’s very nicely made and fits the bill...eh...glasses, perfectly. I’ll ask where he got them. (Obviously NOT Jaguar-made).

If he has any spare it would be a nice drive up to Scarborough.
