Sunglasses storage

I have one of those clip type and the glasses fall in my lap. Anyone have a good alternative that you can use one handed while driving?

Sticky pad in the left corner where your dash connects to the window pillar

I made this out of some thin angle iron, painted it black and used 2 way 3M outdoor mounting tape to hold it in place

If you own a convertible- directly above the mirror there is a recess in the top's lip that is ideal for a pair of sunglasses--- of course with the top down- you lose that spot...but then that's when I find I need my sunglasses most.

There is only one thing I take my sunglasses off for and we haven't yet found a way to do that in the Corvette.

I just stick the arms under the visor. The clips look tacky to me and I never understood hooking something under the visor in order to hold something that could also be hooked under the visor

I used an interior color-matching (almost) foam koozie mounted with Velcro to the side of the radio bezel close to my right knee.

I've been using these in mine and my gf's Corvette...working well, but plus each holds 2 pair, so when we are out together, we always have a second position for the other persons glasses.
