After seeing this I bought myself one (although second hand prices seem to have gone up!) Does anyone else find there sunglasses dont fit or is this a design feature. Guess there is more room on a ford in the head liner? Good bye untrusted p38

I have a large police pair in mine (works in my FL2 also). It doesn't fit perfectly but not a problem at all

Great tip Iguana, thanks

Ordered mine off fleaBay a couple of days ago and it arrived today.

Unfortunately the tab is broken on the screw cover, so I'm going to have to send it back.

Also noticed it doesn't sit as flush as the grab handle. On closer inspection seems like the Ford part has slightly taller standoffs,. Is there a different a version that has a smaller standoff height?

Cheers,

I did same on mine but removed the fixings from the D4 grab handle and fitted to the holder, you will find then it's a perfect fit.

I got one of these and it stores sunglasses en mass

joking apart, if anyone wants storage and a place to put a cb then this is a cracking addition

Well ... it's here (came about 10 days sooner than they kept advising me) and it was beige.

Although it's now doubled the cost, a quick coat of Plastikote "Garden Colours" light grey is a damn good match for the grey of the interior.

Bonus is that some of the stuff I've bought/scrounged off forum members but never got round to adapting/fitting can now be made to match the car interior.

(and may now get fitted ! )
