We've just received our new Octavia combi Scout (one of the last of the Mk III manufactured). It has the electric panoramic sunroof, and did not come with the sunglasses holder in the roof just between the sunroof controls and the sunroof itself.

The salesman at the dealer said he wasn't sure whether models with the electric panoramic sunroof could have the sunglasses holder, though looking at it I don't see why not. It looks like there is a plastic cover there with three covered screws that could probably easily be removed and the sunglasses cubby installed.

Can anyone recommend an aftermarket sunglasses cubby that fits there nicely in this model?

thanks,

 

I expect this Superb guide is equally valid for the Octavia

 

 

 

*grin* very clever. (And this is coming from a guy - me - who hacked a $35 generic notebook power supply to include a weird resistor so that it would emulate Lenovo's $150 job; and who took apart and repaired a very expensive bicycle headlamp which had become a brick because a $1 backup battery inside it had run down ...)

 

But back to the topic - does this mean that Skoda _really_ designed the sunroof such that it prevents having something so simple as a sunglasses holder up there?? Wow...

(I love the car, and I greatly respect the brand, the history of the model, reliability, value, etc; I just wonder sometimes that Skoda's "Simply Clever" isn't quite so much ...)
