View Full Version : Adding a sunglasses holder to the 99.5 A4...

If you are like me, I have a hard time finding a decent place to store my sunglasses in my car. My girlfriend has a New Beetle and it comes with a sunglasses holder on the driver's side where a handle is supposed to be on the roof.

Our A4s have a handle there instead. I noticed that the passenger handle is EXACTLY the same as my 99.5 A4's.

I wonder if we could purchase the VW sunglasses holder part and swap out the driver's handle for the holder? (I personally never use that handle). Has anyone tried this?

I am going to head down to the local VW shop one of these days and see how much the part is and if it'll fit. I'll let you guys know. Hopefully I can find a color match too.

I have a gray headliner, so I ordered the New Beetle's gray sunglasses holder. Hopefully the color match is close. I'll find out. If not, my girlfriend will have an extra one.

I'll let everyone know how the color match goes and how well it fits when it comes in.

I've had great luck using the clip on a soft case to attach it to the dash below where the steering wheel column enters the dash. Keeps 'em within reach and out of view.

It keeps things tidier around the console area...
