Armrest trouble :(

Post by chrispy. »

I used to keep a lot of change in the back section of My armrest.

I have now noticed that 2 pennies have become lodged in the hinge part and will no longer allow the armrest to be opened fully.
I can open it but only by about 50%

Anyone know how to take the armrest apart so I can free my 2x 1p's :)

Thank you!

First you should try to get the coins without taking apart.

Detach the armrest ...

Then you must shake, in case you're lucky and get the prize.

I want remember to compulsive gamblers that the armrest is not a slot machine... :lol:

i took the lid off mine to replace it and used a screwdriver and popped it out cover the end to avoid scoring (didn't matter much in my case but i didn't score it anyway) or just open it half way and use pliers this happened to me before so i just used my hands because i didn't have tools with me at the time

I have tried to remove them but when i open it too far, the coins tighten up in the hinge and i cannot remove them

I will try removing the whole thing and giving it a go :)

If not.. Dynamite should work ;)
