    My Oakley Gascan sunglasses fit into the front smaller holder and my other Oakley Pitbull sunglasses fit into the second larger holder. YOSS.

    I use the sunglass holder every day. I've got a pair of Oakley Jupiter Factory Lites, they fit snuggly.

    I use the rearward holder, but the front one is too small.... ergo it's empty.

    My Oakley tinfoils barley fit in the forward one (btw noticed they would not fit with even a wire croakie, my girlfriends huge bug eye like glasses are usually shoved in the larger one although I hope to fit some switches in the larger sunglass holder.

    My sunglasses don't really fit except for one way, and I never remember what way it is. So I keep my garage door remote there. :notsure:

    The other sits empty.

    most of the time, the sunglasses go onto the sun visor. Only in winter does the sunglass holder get used.

    I dont use mine for anything. I'd recommend that anyone who dose use the sunglasses holders stop. Sooner or later the heat inside that area will warp your frames. It has happened to me in a different vechile same set up though roof holder with the exposed roof. For me it occurred in just a few weeks these where prescription frames. Luckily the lady at the Lens Crafters fixed them. She knew exactly where they'd been stored.

    I'd either keep them with you or store them in the center console or glove box where they won't get as hot.

    Nothing much. I haven't been bitten by the mod bug. A little plasti dip. And a set of Wet Okole seat covers with gun pouch.
    I've always put the little black plastic antenna wrench in there.
