    My two daily driving sunglasses are my Oakley Probationers and Ray-ban Aviators... neither fit in the overhead sunglasses holder. Has anyone modded the holder to fit bigger sunglasses? Do you guys actually use this thing?

    I've used mine here and there. I usually take my glasses into the station with me though. My Maui Jim Sting Rays fit fine, as do my Oakley Flak Jackets.

    i use one of them. 2nd one just sits empty. i would rather have one sunglass holder and the garage door opener holder like my 07 instead of the two sunglass holders that are in my 13.

    i use the little cubby hole under the radio as i find it easier to put/grab it from there while driving rather than twist my arm and blindly poke my roof hoping i hit the sunglasses holder haha. i actually forget it exists until someone gets in the truck and is like "what's this?" *click*.
