    This is the one disappointment I have so far with my 2012 Prius Four...I don't see where I can hold my sunglass on the roof in the front? The 2004 Prius, 2007 Hybrid Highlander Limited and even my 1999 Camry LE has it... Why the hell did Toyota remove it from 2012 Prius Four?

    I suspect you got the solar roof, as the non solar Prius have a sunglass holder in the head liner.[​IMG]

    I believe they needed the room for electronics.

    My 2012 Prius Three has this feature, but I don't own any sunglasses that fit inside it. I use the tray under the flying bridge.

    On mine, between the sunroof and lights, there is no more room for that holder. The previous car, lacking the sunroof, had it.

    agree and mad at the same time.. I need sunglasses all the time in the sun and always love these holders. I get migraine with bright sunlight and have a prescription sunglass in all my cars all the time... :-(

    Google... aftermarket sunglasses' holder for car... then click on "Images". There's gotta be a solution if you can't store your sunglasses in either of the two glove boxes, the center console storage, or the tray under the "flying bridge".

    once more.. with 2 glove boxes, door pockets and tray under the bridge, that's more than enough options. Oh.. forgot the center arm rest too..
