  • Uses for that compartment in the roof console?

    My 90TSI has this little compartment in the roof console, just near the lights and the mic for the bluetooth and those useless little buttons.

    Anyone found a use for this that doesn't involve dropping the contents in your lap on acceleration?

    Is it for storing your Sunnies?

      It's a bit small for many of the larger wrap-around sunnies. But ideal for prescription glasses if you need them for driving. I keep my sunnies in the drop-down bin by my right knee.

        Yes it is. But I've yet to see a pair of sunnies that'll fit. My regular glasses, sure - but the current style of sunglass frame is a rather larger size these days.

                      Quite happy with my "gay looking massive girly glasses" that are cancer council approved and give protection against UV rays entering from side on. I'd sooner have genuine protection than style any day.

                      Cheers

                          My Prada sunglasses don't fit, and they're not big and girly. They're no bigger than some RayBans I tried at the time and a similar style. Bottom line, I don't use the overhead bin at all.

                            My Maui Jim (prescription) sunglasses don't fit. But they look awesome anyway.
