Coin stuck in my armrest

Post by Quicksilver »

I made the mistake of keeping coins in the armrest of my 2015 Polo 6C and now a 20 pence coin is stuck in the hinge. I cannot remove it with the lid in place so will have to remove it. Are there screws under the hinge cover? I do not have a mirror small enough to be able to see. Not sure how to attach an image.

No screws it's plastic brackets, nothing you can do. It happened to me before it just takes patience and different angles to try and move the coin out.

I have tried everything but it just will not come out. Looks as if I will have to take it into the main dealer. It may cost me a new armrest though :-(
