I tried to put my glasses in the overhead bin and there is this block in the bottom middle preventing the glasses from resting in there. I also tried the case and same problem. Is this just a dumb design making this overhead eyeglass storage useless ? 2019 murano sv

I use it successfully for my eye glasses. It is slightly awkward... I currently find placing them into the holder lens first (so that I don't get fingerprints on them when I remove them) is working okay.

It is an awful design. I have not been able to fit any of my sunglasses or my wife's sunglasses. The section for the bridge of the nose is way too wide. Who has a 3 inch wide nose?

My friend also asked me why I keep my sunglasses in that little section by the feet in the centre console. I showed him my sunglass holder and he laughed hysterically.

No issues using it myself but perhaps I’ve become accustomed to it since it’s no different than the 3 Rogues I had prior. That and all of my sunglasses have fit without issue so maybe it matters how your glasses/sunglasses are made (although none of mine have any special design...no abnormally wide bridge or anything).

My sunglasses are prescription so...not sure that really means much. As far as how to remove it...only thing I found after a quick google search seems to require removing the overhead console and mentions of removing the headliner. Not sure if that would be correct though....hopefully someone with actual experience will chime in.

My glasses don't fall out. It kind of feels like they may, but it has never happened to me. I place them in the holder (see photo in post above) lenses facing away from me.

At first I was putting them in with the lenses facing me, it didn't seem as secure, plus I'd get fingerprints on them when removing.

I tried the lenses both ways but the center mount is just way too wide. Here's a picture. Seems like they never tested it in my opinion as I'm an adult and these are adult glasses and nothing unusual about them. I'm going to have to MacGyver something to clamp that little block and have a support above it or make a little hanger for the bridge

OK, I tried it out and it held my glasses, not without a bit of fiddling though. It's wide bridge design is flawed but I'm wondering if it is because of the latch to close it. When I had separate rx sunglasses I used to store them in other cars and I don't recall them being much better.
