Sunglass compartment BROKEN

[jjcorral]

Hi All,

1st post here but have been reading for months. I just received my mach E! Carbonized Gray Select. Love it. I was reluctant buying another ford as i hadn't have very good luck with the interior components breaking on all my fords... Wouldn't you know right off the bat the sunglass compartment broke. Won't stay closed. Anyone have this issue? Any easy fix to hold me over until i take it to the dealer?

Silly answer, how about tape?

 

[jjcorral]

Haha ? 51k car and tape is the fix.. fix or repair daily!
Yes of course I'll do that but i was hoping someone had a better idea or maybe fixed it without taking it to the dealer....

Yes. Mine had the same problem. The little post that goes into the latch, on the driver’s side of the holder, it broke off.

I didn’t use the holder for awhile after that. Just used a spare eyeglass case and stored it in the underside of the console. Eventually I took it to the dealer to get it fixed. They had to order the parts. When the parts arrived a couple weeks later I took it back in and had them update the PaaK recall at the same time. It only took 1.5 hours total. Fully covered under warranty.

Dang. Ok thanks. Hate to make 2 trips for such a tiny fix, i wonder if the service department would order parts first?

Maybe. My dealer had to confirm the problem first before ordering parts.

It was literally 15 minutes, in and out. They took pictures, noted the mileage. Yep, that holder is broke. We’ll call you later when the parts come in. Bye now.

Cool thanks hopefully my dealer will be as easy.

I guess I’ll be more careful with mine - gets used at least four times a day if not more.

Home Depot has small magnetic squares with an adhesive backing. Or use the same idea, but with velcro.

 

[jjcorral]

Great idea!

Same here. I love that thing. I probably use mine 10-12 times/day. I have been lucky so far. The one in my 2017 Focus Electric saw heavy use and survived. Might have been lucky though. Will try and be careful with this one...

I would forget the tape magnets etc. and bring it in and get it replaced. As you noted it costs a bit and it should not make you feel like you are second rate. For me the sunglasses are on but I have reading glasses in the holder. If I forget to close it they end up on the floor of the back seats darn ev torque. If it does not close that is where they will end up all the time. Thanks for the heads up no problem here to date but I use it all the time and will be careful moving forward.

Mine is misaligned but not broken

I don’t use it but my Wife does. Just hope she doesn’t break a nail on it. She spends more money on her nails than I do on my Truck!! Lol
