The small stowage in the ceiling
https://www.sytnerstevenagebmwparts.co. ... 27240.html
seems to be a bit of a flawed design often failing in various ways. Has anyone come up with an alternative tray or an alternative latching mechanism? Mine is permanently open now and when I checked carefully today I found a small piece of plastic that must have snapped off from somewhere.
I would like to either repair my current tray, replace it with a new one or replace it with something else entirely.
I wondered if I could fashion some sort of catch mechanism using velcro, magnets, a slide mechanism or some such. Whilst I'm mulling it over I just wondered if anyone else had solved this problem before me or has any suggestions?

I keep my sunglasses in a Z4 first aid box that I bought on ebay and lined with felt. Secured it under the drivers seat similar to the one below the passenger seat.

I have one of those boxes under my driver's seat, but use it for my Garmin!
Keep my Raybans in the sunglasses ejector in my Coupe, while it still works.
