Where is the glasses compartment in the 2021 Sagitar?

The glasses compartment in the 2021 Sagitar is located behind the interior light. Open the car door and enter the driver's cabin, then locate the glasses holder, which is positioned behind the interior light—simply look up to see it. Push it upward with one finger to release, and the glasses compartment will open automatically. How to open the Sagitar's storage compartment: Open the storage compartment lid, remove all items inside, and you'll see a rectangular piece of felt. Pull it out to reveal a plastic cover. Insert your finger into one of the two holes, hook it, and pull upward to remove. Inside, you'll find screws—use a screwdriver to remove them, being careful not to touch the handbrake cable. How to open the Sagitar's trunk: With the vehicle unlocked, there is a soft rubber handle under the lower edge of the Volkswagen logo. Gently lift it to open the trunk. Alternatively, press and hold the trunk unlock button (the middle button on the remote key) for 2 seconds, and the trunk will automatically unlock and lift.

Honestly, as a 2021 Sagitar owner, I really appreciate its thoughtful sunglass holder design—tucked right in the center of the front roof lining near the sunroof controls. A gentle press pops open the compartment, which securely holds sunglasses or prescription glasses without taking up any space. I always stash my glasses there while driving—super convenient for long trips or sunny days when quick vision adjustment boosts safety. Compared to storing them in the armrest or cupholder, this overhead spot prevents crushing or sliding, showcasing smart ergonomics. Can’t remember where you left them? Check the roof—it’s foolproof. While similar features exist in other VW models, the Sagitar’s version operates smoother with noise-free closure. Pro tip: Wipe the interior occasionally with a damp cloth to prevent dust buildup and ensure lasting functionality.

I must say, the 2021 Sagitar put real thought into designing its sunglass holder location – it's neatly recessed into the front headliner, just a hand's reach away from the rearview mirror. As someone who frequently drives with glasses, this placement is incredibly convenient, eliminating distractions when starting the car. The compartment is perfectly sized, comfortably accommodating my oversized sunglasses without squeezing, and features soft rubber lining to prevent lens scratches. Whether commuting or road-tripping, this shaded position protects glasses from UV damage. While models like Bora or Golf have similar compartments, Sagitar's more forward position offers better driver ergonomics. Pro tip: avoid storing metal accessories to prevent scratches, and use compressed air periodically to clear dust from the hinge mechanism.

In my experience driving the 2021 Sagitar, the glasses compartment is located right in the center of the roof, in that small area above the front passenger's head. Press the panel button and it pops open. The size is moderate, fitting ordinary glasses without any issues. It's convenient to access during daily commutes, more reliable than storing them in the door panel or seat pocket. After prolonged use, this spot doesn’t accumulate much dust and is easy to clean—just wipe it with a wet tissue. Other Volkswagen models with similar configurations share this feature, and the Sagitar's craftsmanship is quite refined.

I've been using the 2021 Sagitar for a few years now. The glasses compartment is located on the front roof, specifically next to the sunroof switch, and it opens with just a gentle push. I find this position incredibly practical—it's within easy reach while driving, reducing the risk of looking down to search for it. The interior of the compartment is lined with felt, protecting the lenses from scratches; even on rainy days, putting glasses in and taking them out keeps them dry. Compared to some car designs that place it in the cup holder, the Sagitar avoids the issue of glasses falling out during bumps. I recommend not stuffing overly bulky cases inside, leaving some space for air circulation. Every few months, use a vacuum to clean out the dust inside to ensure smooth operation. Other models like the Toyota Corolla also have this feature, but the Sagitar's fit is superior.
