Sun glasses...where do you put them?

[Mr. Freeze]

Seriously: you would think the designers would have provided us with one of those cool hideaway spots in the headliner center console to put our sunglasses. Did i miss this option?

It's above in the overhead console where the interior lights are.

Our new Alltrack doesn't have that cubby (my other MK7 does). I was surprised.

We have ACC (SEL) so maybe there is something with the trim/option level that would take the cubby away?

That's what I'm missing.....and a power passenger seat.

And blind spot monitors...

That's odd..... Because of the sunroof maybe?

I just realized i accidentally hijacked this thread, I apologize.

Another thread said it's because of the sunroof. My other MK7 has a sunroof also (not as big) and I got the sunglass holder...

Kinda lame..

Here is the spot...

My salesman told me they remove the sun glass cubby because of the motors for the panoramic sunroof.

Number #13 and #14 are motors powering the panoramic sunroof. There are four motors total that open and close the shade and glass roof.

Same here no glass holder.

I've seen people use these holders that you can find on AliExpress.

There is a cubby to the left of the steering wheel and another beneath the driver seat that you could use for sunglasses.

The cubby under the drivers seat is deleted with the power driver seat option on SEL Model.. I was looking forward to that spot when I first saw it..

 

[dcartwright]

I have an SEL. I keep my sunglasses in the the little cell phone pocket with the USB port, but it's not ideal.

Hi. First post here...
I have noted a few of these on some of the online buying sites, like AliExpress. Have you or anyone else ordered and installed one? If so, was it explicitly for the MK7, Golf, and/or Alltrack or "borrowed" from another model? Anyone have a part number? I miss mine from my MK4... Thanks!! Looking forward to many more discussions!

Yep, sunroof controls are there instead. I put mine in the dash compartment on lower left side of steering wheel works fine although I need to line it with something like micro fiber.

+1 for lower left steering wheel compartment.

Yeah, no blind spot monitors on the US version I guess VW thinks US drivers are better drivers than other countries? VW limited our cars to ACC, Lane Assist and Park Pilot/Park Assist...Does anyone use Park Pilot? I like the audible tone that warns when you're too getting close to an object though.
It saved me once from backing out of garage when UPS left box in corner of garage door and alerted me from running it over.
