Default Sun glasses

Just got a new pair of prescription sunglasses and was wondering where everyone stores their sunglasses. They don't fit behind the screen with a shelf and they don't fit in the door .
any suggestions??

I've removed the cup holder divider, and keep them in that location. Have a piece of cloth on the bottom to avoid scratches. They fit perfectly.

I have my pair with a cord. The glasses sit on my head if not in use for a few minutes like in a building. The cord keeps in should it get shaken loose. HOWEVER, the cord allows me to hang it on the mirror when I am in a building for extended periods or at night.

Since, I always have the top down when I drive, I always wear them. When, I go into a building, I either wear them or let them hang from the neck piece.

I store mine, ina case, in the cubby on the driver's door. It actually fits perfect but sometimes a little tough to get when the door is closed.

Android Auto Dongle and occasionally a P365 when I can't carry into a building?

I use visor clip too. Works great. Not meaning to change thread, but i just got a new pair of polarized fishing glasses with readers built in. Wore them the other day in my C7, and could not see HUD. Lift glasses , can see HUD fine. Drop glasses, no see. Anybody else notice this ?

polarized
That would cause the HUD problem,. I have the same issue with some CC readers & LCD screens
FL is hot & will melt the coating off the glasses if left out in the open. Mine go in their case & into the center console. My regular glasses go in the same case when I switch to the sun glasses.
