Is there a glasses holder that was in a 06-10 Explorer? I've been looking around trying to find one for the overhead console but can't seem to find any examples. Not looking to add a visor clip to hold them. Looking for a factory solution. I'm not sure where the motor for the sunroof is located, but I suspect it is under the console int eh ceiling right at the rear of the plastic there. Wondering if that's why I haven't seen any. Other year Explorers I have seen have room up there for a pair of glasses and a garage door opener, but for '06-10 I've seen none.
 
If you have a sunroof, you have a different overhead console. The consoles without a sunroof have the extra compartments you're speaking of.
 
I couldn't even find any of those for without on ebay or Google. So the 06-10 still had the compartments for the glasses/opener? I know they won't fit mine because of the sunroof, but wondered what it looked like.

My '08 does not have a sunroof and has the overhead eyeglasses holder. My Ray-Ban cool shades case is too fat for it though so I keep my gas cards and yard waste dump permit in it.
 
Anyone know if the motor for the sunroof (on sunroof equipped vehicles) is up front under the overhead console? In my older Ford vehicles the motor was in the rear, but looking at my headliner in the Trac it looks like the only place it could go is under there. I tried pulling it down, but felt like I was just going to break stuff to take a look under it. I'd like to add a factory option for glasses storage up there if there was one available (Explorer or another model that shares the same or similar parts).
 
With the sunroof you have to pull back that rubber trim that holds the headliner around the sunroof opening. Its sum real good sticky glue, I cant remember where the 1 or 2 screws were when I resoldered my resistor for the temp display. :cry:
