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...

^Where do you get those images from?

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

Did you have any luck?

Haven't tried yet
Will be trying soon

I like it too..
