Hi All,,
Have any of you installed the sunglasses holder in place of the roof grab handle.
It’s this one here... https://accessories.volvocars.com/en-md ... atic/R.H.D
It says that it’s not recommended for cars with the panoramic roof but looking at where the grab handle is located, I can’t see why having the panoramic roof would matter when installing this.
Thanks, Ian
Sunglasses holder
hi found it on www.swedishcaraccessories.co.uk/sunglasses-holder
I’ve just ordered one through www.volvopartshop.com. It’s £28.80 plus around a fiver delivery. It says its for a XC90 but is the same part number as shown for the XC40.

On another forum, I saw this...
My dealer sold me this accessory based off my VIN and didn’t mention anything about the headliner/panoramic warning. I installed it myself. It’s kind of a pain to install as each side has two little arms that have bend and fit between the headliner and the frame. It works well enough but the finger cut out used to open it recesses too far. I need to fashion a pull tab with some nylon strap and gorilla glue
I thought it worth giving it a try as it’s obviously been done with a roof with no damage although a little fiddly!!

My glasses holder arrived and was a doddle to fit... just snip off the four plastic tabs that are meant to go underneath the headlining as you don’t really need them and it says you can do so in the Volvo installation instructions as well.
Only problem is that the finger cutout to open it is a bit recessed so it’s not easy to open hence the little piece of stretchy nylon that you can see on the pictures to help open it.
It fits in nicely into the space and the colour is fine (the picture with the flash makes it look too black against the headlining but in daylight, it’s absolutely fine.
A good little improvement if you often wear sunglasses in your car

Fitted mine today as well. Kept the tabs in place, easy enough. They don’t take big sunglasses, or wraparounds very well, but much easier than faffing in the centre console. I haven’t driven the car since installing, so I don’t know if the glasses will rattle in there.
