I only have a pair of sunglasses in mine too. I just know that someday I'll find a real good use for it, but I just haven't thought of it yet.

I've never used mine, either, but I keep whacking my head on it.

I checked out the rail system before ordering my truck. I didn't get it. There is a small storage box mounted on the roof that holds sunglasses in models without the rail system. More than enough for me. The roof has a good look without all the hardware.

6'7" or so. It usually happens when I am reaching way over to the other side.

I have the rail system with 3 bins installed (no DVD). They are basically useless for storing anything but shades and CD's. The third bin is not reachable from the front seat in my Screw and there is a 5 inch gap that shows rail between the last bin and the overhead backseat dome light.
