My wife put her clip-on sunglasses, that were in a hard case, into the eyeglass compartment. When she tried to close the compartment, it stuck in the cabin view mirror position. It will not close or open further.

Does anyone know of a way to get it unstuck?

Thanks for any help.

Had the same issue. I had a pair of oversized sunglasses stuck in there. Mine was stuck in the half open position. There is a small pin on the right side. See if you can manipulate the pin so the mirror will drop down. It helps to have 2 people, one to move the pin, and the other to move the mirror.

Thanks! I will give it a try in the daylight tomorrow.

Read the last post here. Toyota has almost the same design.

I used Toyota Sienna ‘s glasses compartment for 10 years without a single problem.

I used Ascent’s compartment twice and it got stuck on the second use. Luckily I was able to wiggle it opened without breaking my prescription Sun glasses.

Never used ever since. A very poor design for $45k car. Pretty much just as poor as 3rd row seatbelt clip which broke on first use.

Many many thanks. With a small flashlight and a small flathead screwdriver, the method worked like a charm. The wife is happy again!

I did the exact same thing with my glasses and case. It’s stuck open. I’ll try fiddling with it.

Same thing happened to mine. I was eventually able to pop it open. Terrible design.

I thought mine was getting stuck because of the size of my sunglasses, then I noticed the fuckin thing gets stuck even when it is empty.

It shouldn't get stuck when it's empty. I'd have it looked at.

We can do without the profanity on this forum.

Thanks! Your suggestion worked for me too. I would add that it is easier done if you sit in the passenger side to push the pin upwards and allow the mirror to drop.
