Anyone got a quick idea how to install a divider in the bin to keep my sunglasses from flopping around? Can't believe how long I've put up with this lol

Probably too shallow in there? I also don't fancy constantly opening & closing that thing with its taped-up hinge

How about installing a cubby from a 968 with the analog clock and smaller opening?

Perfect! How much?

EDIT: Looks like this solution isn't exactly cost-effective







Need some MacGyver magic

Get some big Elton John sunglasses? They won’t move around as much and you’ll look much more stylish.

Yeah I was patient with mine, snagged one a few years back from someone parting out a 968 for less than $50. Likes right at home in there.

You'd tuck it into the cubby, maybe add a blob of hot glue or double sided tape so you could just whip the glasses out whenever you like leaving the case behind.
