Default Let's chat about the useless sunglass holder

I don't know about you, but none of my sunglasses fit in that thing (Ray Bans). Well, I can BARELY make them fit, but it takes some fussing and you end up getting your fingers all over the lens.

I've been using that rectangular "pocket" on the door of the glovebox. Seems to work. Not sure what else that might be meant for?

Hah! Yes, useless indeed. And like you I just end up putting my sunglasses in that holder in the glove. Apparently Audi designers don't wear big shades.

sunglass holder? I never knew we actually had one. I always thought it was for one of these https://encrypted-tbn2.google.com/im...D-ZWL3zu9f6UQC

I too use "in front of the arm rest" pocket to store mine, I also use cupholder to store my keys

Too far away for me. I use the so-called water-bottle impression in the front of the driver's door compartment.

Default Many uses

I use them to store a pair of iphone earbuds, works great, and I never have to worry about having a pair handy. I'm sure there are other usefull things you can put in there. Just be creative!
