Sunglass holder removed?
#131
My 2020 Defender has a sunglass holder and it is of a more rigid design than the later model had - the rear cover is actually part of the frame - but i think Land Rover had a problem with the tooling ? and so reverted to the early type console but they had issues with flexing and so stopped fitting them. We had a 2023 model in today with a sunglass holder and it looks like it was the more rigid design again - same as my 2020

My 23 V8 came with the surround sound and USB outlets, but not the sunglass holder. I ordered the PowerfulUK kit, but had issues with it not closing. They sent the brackets, but they didn't help the situation in my vehicle. The smart thing to do would have been to just live without it, since it's really not that big of a deal. But, since I am pretty stubborn, I ended up buying an overhead console from an Evoque, in the same configuration as mine, off of Ebay and swapped it out with the one that came in my Defender. May not have been the most economical solution, but I do like having the sunglass holder and do use it almost every day.

Do what you want with your money. I never criticize someone for doing/buying something that makes them happy. Well, I guess as long as they are not knee deep in debt.

Just like last January right after I turned 66 - spent a day in the ER for cardiac issues. Had a wonderful young lady ER doc (ok, mid-40’s) who adjusted my meds. We had a gr8 conversation about a well-earned retirement, etc, and she said “your BP is high but not crazy high, enjoy life’. Yep, expensive scotch and cigars with a few buddies are on tonight’s dessert menu…..
