Hey Bronco Nation,

I know those of us who opted for the factory installed axillary switch panel, which is a great feature, had to sacrifice the beloved Ford sunglass holder between the visors. Here is a quick fix for those of you who like to store your extra sunglasses/driving glasses up above.

If you have a hard top with the optional headliner, I noted that the headliner is a perfect substrate for velcro strips. To make a functional sunglass holder, I just took an ordinary chip bag clip and put adhesive velcro strips on one side. Viola! Instant sunglass storage that you can put wherever you like on the headliner.

See you on the trails....

And when you are wearing your sunglasses you can clip your chips up there for easy access while driving!😎

I love this idea! Something so simple and yet I would have never thought of it. Thanks!

I think there are forum members who won't feel right unless they spend $25 or more for this feature.

Stainless steel chip clip might breach the $25 threshold. 😉

No, powder-coated with molle grid. Plus logo.

How about the opposite... Any fun things that we can switch out our sunglass holder for? (can't believe I didn't get the Aux Switches)

Looks legit, I would just need a black one. Nothing in my Bronco is white.
BTW I bought these new molle door pockets, they are steel and STURDY.
Put them on today, the cheap netting just pops off, (it had already ripped just from maps being in there) took 5 mins to install they are great!! (and black):
Make sure to get the CARBON STEEL

I’m that high-maintenance BN member that paid for this one on Amazon…works great! Or I am just not as creative to come up with the other idea🤷‍♀️

Installed this rubber dash pad it fits and works great for stopping things from sliding around up there:

Also installed this dash pod/phone holder fits perfect so far so good, value for the money:

Sunglasses will now sit inside that dish nicely

Great idea! I can verify that velcro sticks really well to the roof liner. I have some patches on mine that are really hard to peel off!

I have been using heavy Velcro since day one , molly pouchs work great for holding gloves , glasses, tools ,ect. even put Velcro on my garage door opener just above my steering wheel and off the of the sun visor to keep a less obstructed view. The large Velcro holder in back on center roof holds my camping lantern solidly!
