Eyeglass/Sunglass Holder?

[cdsvt]

Hi All,

I sometimes wear eyeglasses (night driving) and prescription sunglasses (sunny days), and am often struggling to find a place to put them.

A solution that works in my other rigs (sunglass holder on sun visor) doesn't work because I have Owl/Rosen sun visors and they are at cross purposes.

I'm currently using hard cases in the center console bin, but the bin is so tiny that the glasses cases eat up a lot of space so the bin is less useful for other items.

I'd love something that replaces or augments the blank panel on the overhead console, but it needs to be deep enough to hold glasses (ideally 2 pair).

Please share any options that you find useful.

Thanks,
Charlie

I had the same need so I bought the overhead shelf from Grenadier USA and used it to store a flashlight and the clear lens glasses I wear for driving at night. For my sunglasses that I wear most of the time, I got a cheap glasses case off Amazon that was compatible with the Molle System and hung it from the underside of the overhead shelf using its attached Velcro strap. The combo worls a treat as everything is right at hand when I need it.

Overhead Cockpit Shelves

As comfortable as the Grenadier cockpit is, there is definitely a lack of space for placing and storing everyday items like wallets, glasses, papers, phones, etc. To solve this we went vertical and utilized the empty panels we had in our switch panel. The larger shelf fits in the central panel...

I attached these to the roof console.

I was able to fit 3 of these on the passenger grab bar by the glovebox. I’ve since switched to visor and rear seatback since I have cargo nets, but these worked really well before I went that route.

All great ideas. Thank you. I like the range of options. The Greandier USA one would give me more general storage space and molle attachment options which would be a bonus. Looks like it comes in large and extra large - decisions, decisions. Thanks, all.

There is a perfect place to store a glasses case on top of the steering column surround if you have the steering wheel pulled out a bit. I have been using that for quite a while and the case stays put.

I use a $10 clip stuck on with double sided tape below the safari window. Has worked perfect.

This - perfect spot, although occasionally gets a little hot in the sun.

Someone on here recommended this spot a while back and it’s a games changer! They don’t move and they’re right there. The only downside is you can forget they’re there. It’s the perfect size and doesn’t take room that something else would use.
