Title: Sunglasses.
Post by: Gtiless on 28 March 2014, 22:56

Has anyone ever found a pair of sunglasses that fit into the holder in the roof?
My Mk5 was the same as well,surely they should be larger,I wonder if they have changed it on the Mk7?
Perhaps the German designers wear really small glasses!
I know its a small detail really,but it would be such a handy feature if it only worked!

Agree can't get me oakleys in the mk6 it's complete waste of space. Maybe good for loose change?

RayBan Aviators fit in the overhead cubby (women's ones though).  Rarely use that compartment though as I hate anything rattling  :grin:

My Ray ban RB3217s fit fine, albeit the rattling.

Mk 7 overhead space is now considerably bigger so that's solved now  :smiley:

I have two pairs of sunglasses in my roof holder. Oakley TwoFace and aviators. No problems at all.

Recommend Polaroid's wayfarer style sunglasses. Very good for driving and bang on trend.

Is this thread just about what sunglasses people have?

I've still got the same pair of Ran-Bans that I bought about 15 years ago. No idea what they are called They still work, so no need to buy any more. With hindsight, I should have kept my Wayfarers from 1988.

It was more intended as a comment on how poorly designed the sunglasses compartment is-not really so we could all show off our glasses!

While we are at it none of my Oakley's fit in mine.

To be fair it gives people the opportunity to find out what sunglasses fit and what don't so they can make an educated decision when purchasing new sunglasses.

I have smallish avaiator style ones and they will fit, though you have to put them in a particular way, and when you close the tray, there is a little squashing going on! They definitely should have made the compartment a little bigger IMO
