Sunglasses holder?
Does anyone know of an OEM or factory looking solution for sunglasses holders? Perhaps something from another Toyota or Subaru?
I've had a search and haven't come across much besides $2 aftermarket clips from China. Surely someone has found something in the last 6 years |

My solution to this is to wear cheap sunglasses (as in $20 or less) and put them in the cupholder, or on the passenger seat, or wherever they land.
Anytime I've ever owned a pair of expensive sunglasses I've lost or broken them in less than 2 months. My current pair of cheap sunglasses I've had for 5 years, and are still as good as new.

Get some cheap safety glasses. I've had the same pair for years, they cost like $4 and are scratch resistant. I always have a hat on so when I don't need them, that's where they live 24/7 whether I'm wearing the hat or not.

I use one of the door bottle holders for holding a glasses case (for normal glasses, but that's always an option). For sunglasses, I keep a pair of wayfarer style ones in a soft case and they fit nicely in the iPhone slot in the center console cup holder. Anything wider or thicker by design (e.g., Oakley Fuel Cell) obviously won't work there, but it's an option if whatever you use happens to fit in it. And they can sit deep enough that it won't interfere with the armrest sliding back and forth if you have one. Just a rather neat solution that happened to work.
I had a clip like @ERA showed in my previous cars, but usually I just wear my sunglasses and they go with me wherever I'm going. If I wear them and it turns to night before I get driving again, I just put them on the passenger seat, or in the back if I have a passenger.

I usually leave mine in the center console in front of the cup holder. I always take them with me if I leave the car or if just temporary (like have been out all day and it got dark but I stop somewhere) I put them in a soft case and toss them in the glovebox.
I used to use a clip like @ERA but one pair I have now is too big a stretched it out til it didn't work anymore. My glasses just kept falling off |

I keep mine over the visor but there seems to be a release mechanism under the pedal on the right because every time I press it to the floor, they fly out and bonk me on the head.
