Is there a useful sunglass case that clips into the rail for the CM that will fit a normal pair of adult sunglasses? The standard MINI case will only fit my 6-year old's sunglasses.

Anyone here find one that works?

 

rail accessories are useless.
visor clip.

 

One of these?

 

I use mine to keep pens in ... i would never be that organized to put my sunglasses in that case...adapt it for other uses.

something like that altho you can usually find them in a jar or something by the register in a dollar store for around 2 bucks.

 

Saw this on another r60 thread yesterday "where to buy a rail cup holder". Replaces the side visor.

I used the rail-mounted sun-glass case on a daily basis for about six months before it began to fail. The plastic hinges develop stress fractures after repeated use, and after the first hinge failed, the second failed in fairly short order. I'm surprised at the poor engineering that went into this accessory.

 

I used the supplied rail smart-phone holder for a few months before it came apart.

I love the idea of the rails system, but all of the current rails attachments are cheap and of limited usefulness. Some things they could produce:

1) Rail Safe. Clamps onto the rail in a way that can only be un-clamped from the inside of the safe. Requires a combination or something like it to open.

2) Real sunglasses holder (as noted)

3) Giant cup holder. The rail is wide enough to easily hold a 32Oz Big gulp, it just needs a holder with a wide opening.

One good thing is that the bases of the cheap things like the sunglass holder that actually clamp onto the rail are themselves pretty well made, so all someone would have to do is come up with good accessories that go on top of a standard rail clamp.

 

Looking at your sig pic - are you a MINI Chief?

 

Sadly, chief of nothing...
