I am looking for a sunglass compartment. They make one for the Buick Encore that goes where the grab handle goes. If anyone sees one that will fit the Trax please post it up. I think we should have an accessories section of the forum myself. That way everyone can post all of the accessories they have added to their Trax.

Does the one from the Buick Encore not fit with the Trax?

It might be better to go the universal route or just wait for this accessory

That might be something to look into.

I'm sure it would be pretty easy to find a universal one. Amazon and eBay are great places to look for cheap parts like this.

Hi!

Does GM use the same OEM Part Numbers all over the world (it differs between the car brands though, as Opel Mokka has a different number for exactly the same product)? If so, the "Titanium light gray" sunglass holder for the Trax has GM P/N 965064396. At least here in Europe. The P/N for exactly the same holder but for the Opel Mokka is 2352019 - at least the box says so (I bought one for my Trax from one of the local Opel/Chevrolet dealer last week).

Here in Europe the Chevrolet Trax comes only with this "Titanium gray" roof while Opel Mokka comes with either the gray or beige "cashmere" roof. The beige cashmere sunglass holder has GM P/N 23520220 (for Opel Mokka).

Anyways, I can strongly recommend this holder - it fits perfectly, both in shape and color and it is extremely easy to install; two screws and two minutes, done! I have normal "pilot Ray Ban type sunglasses" and they fit in there just perfect, they are not allowed to be bigger though, as the holder isn't that large!

it might be smart that they don't use the same part number as that allow them to tap into different pricing.

that's what i was thinking.
some will figure it out and cross reference the numbers.

 

[Kooper]

well the real question is if you can get European parts through chevrolet USA.

that's true

have you tried/

 

[TrainTrax]

Is it difficult to order parts from across the pond and getting them sent here? I think a universal one would be much easier to come by. Probably cheaper too.

 

[James]

some dealers might be able to do it for you, which in that case may be a bit costly but if you want it, pay up.

@Hoffa can't believe I missed that. The holder you posted looks great. But that's just in Europe, which makes me wonder if american Chevrolet/GM dealers can order this part being a Holden part.

I went to the local dealer and he couldn't even pull up the part number lol. (USELESS)

LOL!

There are two methods to obtain such a part in North America:


1) Call a dealer across the pond, pay their full retail price plus a huge shipping fee, and you'll have it.


2) Browse eBay.co.uk (UK eBay) and eBay.de (German eBay). The pricing should be cheaper this way.


Here it is on German eBay:

If we can find the Vauxhall Mokka part number, we can search for it on English-speaking UK eBay and order it much easier. The Trax is sold as the Vauxhall Mokka in the UK.

 

[James]

Good tip on going through ebay for it, usually i find a ton of great things their. Dealership is going to always charge an arm or leg for what ever it may be, best to avoid them.

 

[chevyfan]

In some cases i have been able to find OEM parts for sale on ebay and amazon, best to check their before the stealarship.

 

[TrainTrax]

I find sunglasses holders a kind of stupid accessory though. Can't you just use the glove compartment?

don't forget the Holden Trax...

 

[Sidetraxed]

don't forget the Holden Trax...

Good thought...but then you'd have to pay for shipping from Australia
