Grab Handle Sunglass Holder

cool, thankyou come up with another idea for your phone, let us know!

 

This is a really cool idea. I've been sitting my sunglasses in the larger bin in front of the steering wheel but they tend to vibrate and buzz if I'm not wearing them... and might melt in the sun lol

Se fromy SAMS-SGH-I using Tapata

 

I stored my sunglasses in the larger bin in front, but the lens "alligator-ed" from the sun and they were ruined. So I put my new sunglasses in the same large bin, but in a sunglasses sleeve. We'll see how that works out... The sleeve does help keep 'em from rattling too.

The OPs mod is a handy idea and looks very tidy.

Where and how does one order that? Can you share a part number and vendor?

Thank you in advance!

 

Please do let us know how it works- the one in the Yaris looks fantastic, and it would be exactly what I was hoping for.

 

I see two parts listed on the link- one for the Sedan, one for the Wagon- which would be best fit?

 

Please see my subsequent post- I hit post too soon!

 

Can you give me any tips on step 1?

I am trying to remove the screw covers on the grab handle- should I be gently prying at the end over the hinge? Or are the pry points somewhere else? How firmly attached is it? Would you recommend a butterknife?
Thanks in advance!

 

Hi All- I successfully completed this today, with a few variations from Tony's process:

A) I did use the broad tip of a butter/pate knife to pop open the existing attachment from the hinge side- very easy!

B) I only removed the nub sticking out- not the base plastic, which turned out to be the same depth as the headliner material and backing:

C) I couldn't find the plastic parts, so I used cage nuts (for servers and stereo racks instead), as well as the original screws provided with the new part:

D) I was afraid of dropping the nut into the hole and not being able to get it back, so I used a long piece of scotch tape and some needle-nose pliers to get the flanges into position in the holes:


E) Then I just screwed it in, and voila! Thank you for the part recommendation- it is a perfect fit for the C

 

Thanks for the tip Tony. Just ordered mine

 

Good tip! I finally was able to acquire a couple of cage nuts for my Yaris, but turns out they are too big for the hole. I'll have to visit a few car accessory shops to get the nylon nuts for license plate mounting.

 

Cage nuts that I got came in different sizes and are not square. I thought that they wouldn't fit at first, but they need to be turned slightly. I attached them to a piece of scotch tape to keep them from falling through sideways, then hooked them through to fit. Sorry that I don't have pictures of the process.

 

I tried again today, this time I screwed the supplied black screw to the cage nut and used it to hold the nut. No matter how I turn or angle the cage nut, it doesn't fit. The nut itself could fit, but the cage around the nut is a little loose (the cage is not flush, there's quite a bit of space between the cage and the nut) so in the end it doesn't fit. These are supposed to be M6 nuts (says so on the side) and the screw fits the nut perfectly.

Thanks for your help, but after trying today with the screw in the nut and trying to pivot and align it, I am positive that my square cage nuts won't fit in the rectangular hole.
