Question about Emira storage of sunglasses

[netsinah]

Still waiting for my Emira and thinking about the practical problem of where to store sunglasses, where they're readily accessible and not (for example) hanging from a holder on the visor, potentially blocking my view or (since my sunglasses are thick/wide when folded) hitting the windshield when the visor is flipped down with the sunglasses (then) behind the visor.

My C8 Corvettes didn't really have a convenient storage spot, until I realized I could easily set the case for my sunglasses, in a little cubby-hole behind the "infotainment touch screen". It's easy to reach over the touch screen, to grab the sunglasses (problem solved).

I see the Emira has a touch screen that extends up, above the dashboard. Can sunglasses similarly be stored behind its touch screen, sitting on the dashboard?? If so, will they stay put at that location...or perhaps a velcro base for the case, would prevent movement? Or maybe this is just a bad idea for the Emira?

Although I'm unsure it'll work, I did purchase this option from Amazon.ca, to potentially attach to the Emira car door and store sunglasses inside (I usually store a small umbrella in the side door pocket):

Amazon.ca

Where/how do current Emira owners, store sunglasses? Has anyone tried behind the touch screen? Any advice most appreciated.

I leave my sunglass case in the two cupholders since you can't put a drink in there without it getting in the way of shifting.
I tuck a bottle of water where the seatbelt latch is so it stays put in the corners.

Why not the door pocket?

As above, door pocket is fine, why make it more complicated than that

Arm Rest with storage

Works like a charm and look like its from the factory.

I agree… but I think there are just some people out there that want to buy accessories for the sake of minor improvements with convenience. Products exist in every market that aren’t really needed but are appreciated by some

As indicated in my post starting this thread, I keep a small umbrella in the door pocket, which makes that unavailable for sunglasses. That may not be what anyone else does, but I'm a creature of habit and have done that in all my vehicles for about 50 years. You know what they say about "old habits"...

My thanks to MickOpalak for his suggestion; it would be nice to see how it looks in an Emira.

Can we talk about how sensitive the passenger seat is to weight? I put my mail down and the thing yells at me

I have a small Lotus umbrella in the pax door pocket which frees up the drivers pocket for sunglasses, unless you’re doubling up on umbrellas

Now that I'm driving my Emira, just past the break-in mileage (yaaaay!) I've found:

-sunglasses can't be stored behind the Emira touch screen. That area is too shallow (unlike a Corvette C8)
-for anyone interested, I purchased a case to hold my sunglasses, which "clips" to the inside of the driver's door. It has a magnetic lid and I can easily remove the sunglasses and replace them with my regular glasses, using one hand and while driving (see photo). This was an Amazon product and the link is in the post that started this thread
-this allows me to store an umbrella in the door pocket (also seen in the photo) and I'm going to try and fit in a can of coke in that pocket as well, as a back-up to whatever I place in the cup holder. I like to have the umbrella close to me and not in the passenger side door pocket. I don't drink coffee, so routinely throw in 2 cans of coke for longer road trips as my "caffeine-boost-to-keep-me-awake-in-case-needed".

Each to his/her own. I realize this isn't for everyone and some will question the need, however I present it to the Forum as an option.

@netsinah Can you remind us who makes those floor mats, please? I saw on another thread but didn't take note. Are you happy with those? They look nice. Thanks.

 

[netsinah]

Made by Witamats (Calif. USA) and I'm happy with them, however I'm still waiting to receive the already-paid-for rear boot/trunk matching mat. If you order from them, just order the front cabin dual set, which they've figured out. Here's the thread where I discuss the Witamats and provide more photos. Good luck!

Looking for Floor Mats for the Emira

I would like to put protective mats in my Emira. I have checked WeatherTech and others and I can't find any for sale. Has anyone found some to buy? Or have you found something which fits closely or is best to buy and trim to fit?
