I am not sure if this is of interest, but I have the tendency to forget my sunglasses because I have progressive tints. Last year in the US I bought some prescription sunglasses and should really use them in the QQ. Yesterday at Tshibo here (I believe no longer in the UK) they had a holder for €4 so I splashed out and bought one. Clips over the sunvisor, foam pads to protect glasses, release button. I found the same on Amazon different name for €6,40. I hope they work out OK - Dave

When I saw the topic title I thought you were going to tell us about the Nissan one - it's referred to in the manual under "Glovebox" and there seems to be a moulding there to take something but I've never seen what that something looks like
Sunglasses holder (where fitted)
WARNING
The sunglasses holder should not be used while
driving so that full attention may be given to vehicle
operation.
The glove box contains a sunglasses storage area,
which is accessible when the glove box is open.

gloucester, I have exactly the same comment in our manual but in the German Lingo. There is a pocket in the Glovebox which can be used for sunglasses but is out of reach of the driver. There are Sunglasses Holders available but from what I have found mainly for the J10 model and they replace the Grab Handle - look on Amazon or eBay - Dave

I have that roof-mounted sunglasses case but haven't got around to fitting it yet. Pretty sure there's nothing in my glovebox that resembles a sunglasses storage area!

As you can see... :
... I don't have the sunglasses holder you illustrate in your glove box. There appears to be a mounting point on the left into which something might slot but searches on the internet have not elicited anything relevant.

Gloucester / Hound, is this one of these country related options as gloucester also has a Tekna or is it a Nissan Cost Saving ?. Could the Slot at the side be for example for Credit Sized Cards such as AA or RAC (Motoring Related) ours is the ADAC but obviously NOT for Money Credit Cards - Dave

Well that solves that one! I hadn't though of it as being a "credit card" slot - which would take, for example, my GEM Motoring Assist card - if I didn't have to keep it in my wallet for when I'm on the motorbike.
Perhaps Nissan thinks it isn't sunny enough in Britain to install the sunglasses holder!

Ive always presumed that the recess at the back right with the elastic strapping across was to contain driving glasses and as already suggested the slot on the left is to hold breakdown recovery cards and the like. I will be getting one of the glasses holders that replaces the grab handle as it looks quite tidy and more practical.

The elastic strap is for the manuals
Towards the rear of the glove box an elastic strap
can be used to hold the Owner’s Manual pack.
