The cheap plastic pocket inserts in my door panel don't meet my definition of "sunglass holders." I don't even understand how they can be marketed as "sunglass holders."

My cat could design something better than these.

My '04 and '06 Accords had nice, hydraulically damped, swing-down holders that were mounted to the rood console. THOSE are real "sunglass holders."

I tried a couple of aftermarket ones and none of them were really "right" for this application.

What are people using for sunglass holders in their '04 - '08 TL cars???

bummer- g3 lost the g2 mirror area mounted drop down sunglass holder?
what did they put there instead?- or did you not try that funky plastic thing that says push~

I have a lil clip on holder that's clipped onto my sun visor. I'd love a more fancy solution but this is still simple, cheap and does the job.

The cheap plastic pocket inserts in my door panel work for me!

My TL and I are so cool that I have to wear my sunglasses in the car.

Just wear your sunglasses indoors.

We have a sunglass holder? Sorry, new to the TL-S. My old TSX had a nice ceiling drop down sunglass holder that I wish the TL-S had. So where exactly is the sunglass holder in the TL-S?

Geez, another negative thread about the damn sunglass holders. I have a solution for you, get TINTS!!!

LoveMyTL-S

LOL I plan to.......

LoveMyTL-S, funny thing is that I didn't notice that the car doesn't have sunglass holder until someone point it out in this forum. All of my previous cars have tints so I never need to wear glasses. By the way, how's the new car holding up? I love mine, just went pass 350 miles, can't wait until I am over 600 miles.

The new TSX has a drop down one; my sun glasses fit ok in the side pockets on the TL - atleast it's a softer plastic instead of some rigid crap that would scratch them..

definitely hate this crappy sunglass holders in the door bay...freaken retarded. It's a bitch to put the glasses in while you are driving or to pull them out....

And those two pockets below the navi...what are their uses? the are like 6" by 200000" in depth, lol.

Ok... first of all, I have a Type S and the pull out door bay things are NOT for sunglasses... unless you want to scratch the S**T out of your sunglasses!

Put them in the top push-hydrolic door bay over the smaller one with the power source... right in the dash.

If you fold the arms and put the glasses in there upside down (arms closest to the base of the compartment) they should be safe and I have a huge pair of Oakleys that fit there perfectly.

Furthermore the rubberized bottom keeps them from moving around too much and it keeps my metal pair from vibrating and making too much rattle noise while I'm driving.

Problem solved.

TeknoKing

^^^ manual will suggest otherwise....nevertheless, I carry my glasses in my own padded case....

yisrael42

Manual Shmanual... people are looking for a good place to put their sunglasses... is it really necessary to have a sunglass shaped drop down compartment?

I had a TSX and it was cool but i would much rather have my new one touch centrally located sunroof retractor button!!!!

There is a small semi-soft rubberized rectangular insert at the rear of each front door compartment- pull the door compartment open and you can see the compartment, which the manual refers to as a sunglass compartment, but which also can be used for mace, tasers, remote controls, stacks of $$ bills, etc.

I actually drop my sunglasses in there every so often, when I'm not using the sunglasses in the glove compartment, and the rubberized material keeps noise to a minimum. All my Ray Bans have glass lenses and metal frames (aviator style Large Metal IIs), so they can't get scratched.

yisrael42

Careful not to drop those Ray bans on the concrete... glass lenses definitely scratch, just not as easily... don't put your keys near them or pens and stuff in that compartment either...

don5504

I have Ray Bans too. And yes its true about dropping them. Maybe my next pair will be some Maui Jim's.

I bought one of those clips that goes over the visor at WalMart for around 5 bux, but when I clip my Revos into them, the nose pieces rattle so badly it's like Chinese Water Torture. Now I just use the case that came with them and stick them in the door compartment.

I just went over 1k miles yesterday. Opened her up to 105mph for a few seconds. Man does she cruise! Simply loving the car. Went to some springs in Ocala. Glad I got the all weather floor mats and trunk tray. Helps to keep the car clean. Still breaking yours in I see.........

ive read your threads. all you do is bitch and rant.

i think you should just buy an american car...i heard they are top of the line in quality. it obviously shows in their sales and recalls...
