Overhead Sunglasses holder
Overhead Sunglasses holder
Thought i would change the overhead console to one with the glasses holder seen some on ebay BUT on closer inspection mine has the ultrasonic sensors where the pocket is on the other one , anyone got a way around this , thanks , Colin ..

Re: Overhead Sunglasses holder
They were only offered with the pre-facelift version/without a sunroof as far as I know so you would gave to change the entire console or modify it to fit.
It always seemed daft to take the holder out, but then that's 'progress' !

Re: Overhead Sunglasses holder
Maybe not...
Mine is a 2004 Face-lift 218 D-Sport ... & it has the sunglasses holder in the roof console.
So maybe there is provision to fit it if you can locate the parts ?

Re: Overhead Sunglasses holder
I have 2005 facelift, with panoramic sun roof, but no alarm. I have the glasses holder. Maybe it's one or the other, but not both?
