Anyone try to use a IX sunglass holder in the X?
Hey guys,
I've had my Evo X for about a month and one of my peeves is it doesnt have anywhere to 'safely' put sunglasses.
Has anyone tryied to put the IX map light/sunglass holder assembly in the X? There may be a little wiring involved, but thats no problem for me.
The part can be seen here for comparison. (Part #13)

Well crap. I guess i'm on a mission then. Ill figure this out somehow. I've already cross referenced the schematics and wiring diagrams, and it would be PnP with exception of the mounting points.

As far as supporting it, thats something im going to have to look at. I'm sure I can fab something up if need be. I'm trying to locate a wrecked 8 or 9 so I can grab the assembly and see what needs to be done.

most the glasses i wear fold up pretty flat so i'm thinking they'd fit up there too since the raybans fit.

what i am asking is there enough depth between the headliner and the roof.

The assembly should ust hang lower than what is currently there to make up for the sunglass compartment. I'm sourcing car-part right now to try to find one.
I prefer the look of OEM, I also bought a homelink mirror so I wouldnt have a garage door opener up there.
