Overhead console sunroof vs slick top

[RebelYell]

So I take it the slicktops got the sun glass holder while us with sunroofs didnt?

Correct.

Man that sucks one button for the sunroof takes up soooooo much space that they felt the need to eliminate the sunglasses holder.

More likely the sunglasses holder would intrude into the hole for the sunroof.

No i mean rotote the sunroof button 45 degrees and put it next to the map lights. Then all that open space could be the sunglass holder.

they could have if they wanted to. spin the map light button around and put the sunroof button next to it. my 23 escape has a panoramic roof! a button for the glass, a button for the sun shade, button for the lights and still manages to fit a sunglass holder.

I looked for my sunglasses for 45 minutes one day after realizing I put them in the sunglasses holder now they are in their case in the console I guess i will use the sunglasses holder as a cubby for something else

It would bump into the junk for the map light switches that's on the other side of the panel. It would also require them to redesign that panel.

ah, don't feel bad I spent 4 hours retracing my steps going back to stores I was in asking if anyone had turned in a pair of glasses. No luck. Yep, went home told my son what I had been doing and he said to me 'uh, you don't mean those glasses that you have on top of your head do you ?'. yes indeed that's them!

lol good to know I’m not the only one I’m 65 and looking for to more of this hahaha

That’s ok. I’d rather have the open roof. My glasses auto darken anyhow.

Came from a 2020 Escape Titanium with panoramic roof to my 2024 Mav Lariat with sunroof... Less roof on the Mav, so if you notice, the sunroof is much further forward in the roof on the Mav vs the Escape (very noticeable from the inside). Sure, they could have redesigned that module, but that cost would have been passed on to us....

Damn Ford choosing the lowest cost vendor putting the damn button right in the middle instead of canted off the side just to save a few bucks so they don’t have to put the sunglasses holder there…..

Like literally every vehicle I’ve owned in t get last two decades.

Hang a apple airbag or android tile from your sunglasses.

This is so dumb. All my other cars have sunroofs, and ALL of them have sunglass holders but I guess Ford just couldn't figure it out!

"What were they thinking?" Cheap / bad decisions that would have added great convenience by just pulling inexpensive items from the corporate parts bin :
1) No homelink, even on Lariats
2) No seat memory, even on Lariats
3) No sunglass holder with sunroof option

I mean, all this stuff was available in the early to mid-2000s, it isn't exactly rocket science, so CHOOSING not to include that in the top model (while it's available on mid-grade Ford compact SUVs) is just egregious
