I gave up on trying to squeeze my sunglasses in there and so now I just leave them on the sliding door of the center console. I keep the cleaning cloth that I use for my sunglasses in the glasses compartment now.
I think you're missing the point. The drop down compartment is specifically MADE for glasses and sunglasses and they should easily fit.Put your glasses in an eyeglass case and keep them in your center console or your glovebox, sheeeesh!?
