Sunglasses holder/compartment needs a heat shield/insulation

[lajlmt]

Overhead sun glass holders are one of the most common parts to break on any vehicle, no matter what make or how much the vehicle cost. They are all basically the same design.

They were one of the most frequent parts I had to order for used cars when I was in the parts business.

I personally think people are too rough with the mechanisms, they try to jam them shut when the glasses are in the way or just use too much force on the rather delicate mechanisms. It’s supposed to be touch to open, not jab or punch to open.

Although I never thought about it before, the sunlight heat probably cooks the plastic on every vehicle, not just Mavericks. That could make the mechanisms brittle over time.

My 2cents.

I have put two pairs, and a car wash card up there in my Kona and a moonroof, I will miss that in the Maverick…but need a moon roof to eject the heat quickly.
