Project_Edge Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 I have a 2015 Edge Sport with the BAMR. My Maui Jim's are so hot once I pull them out I can't put them on my face! Then the nose pads MELTED OFF! Anyone insulate the sunglasses storage area? What did you use? I see you can put a small piece of insulation in there. Thinking maybe the felting interior trim type stuff would work. Thoughts? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar302 Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 I also face this high heating of the sunglasses making them too hot to wear. Never thought of finding a permanent solution. Hanging the sunglasses for about 10 seconds on the middle A/C vents to cool them down. Or if i remember when parking the Edge that it'll be under the sun I would not leave the sunglasses up there. Though I never faced melted nose pads! and we do get really hot summers here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onyxbfly Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 Like Omar said. I've had sunglasses too hot to put on. I have never seen melted nose pads before. There is a first for everything! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candurin Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 I’ve been keeping mine in the overhead storage for 7 years and never had this issue. You can always put your glasses in a sock (the microfiber drawstring bags) or cover with a microfiber cloth when putting in the storage bin. That should help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess this is an issue with the new style overhead console. Maybe having the big sunroof is also a factor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine also got hot to touch but I keep the BAMR shade closed when parked. I broke mine recently Edited August 26, 2019 by Xtra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candurin Posted August 26, 2019 Report Share Posted August 26, 2019 I keep the sunshade closed on my BAMR as well. It is unfortunate for the MJ’s as they are great glasses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Project_Edge Posted August 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 I should clear up my statement. The nose pads adhesive melted and the pads slid off. I was able to get new one for free from Maui Jim and SuperGlue them on. Yes the shade was closed by the sunglasses get so hot I can't put them on when I get out of work. If you look in there it is bare metal. No insulation. I am currently looking for something I can tuck in there to help during the summer months. It's 105 today here in Sacramento.

omar302 Posted August 27, 2019 Report Share Posted August 27, 2019 My guess is having the vista roof with the shade closed being the issue. Mainly due to the heat buildup between the shade and the glass that would eventually escape towards the overhead console. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
