Hi Arthur out of interest how did it happen and how have you used it in the past ? Have you been rough with it ? Slamming closed, too much in it etc. Just asking as I dont want the same thing happening to mine !

[arthur howison]

Yes I did u it every day for coins  maybe 10 times a day alas it did not last but on my suberb 2 used it every day 365 days for 3.5 years with no problems my superb and with. my superb no problems I had that one for 5 years

[Nick_H]

Sounds like it’s just a poor quality part then I would be pushing for warranty. Good luck and let us know !

[jstallan]

Amazing!!!! I didn't even know there was a tray there! I've only had the car nearly 30 months....  I wonder what else I've yet to discover..

[arthur howison]

Out of warrenty

[arthur howison]

All I wanted was to buy a new clip

But they don't sell  just theclip

[Nick_H]

Ouch :-( Maybe on in a breakers somewhere.

[unclerichy]

Some say that the clip on the car in the showroom has always been missing... 

[arthur howison]

OppsOpps

[arthur howison]

The clip is broken

[arthur howison]

Plastic opening catch cannot be bought separately

[unclerichy]

Epoxy it back in place?

[arthur howison]

Well it's worth atry

Bought my car and it's an ex Taxi-- the tray catches were well worn so I ended building it back up using layers of superglue and plastic... No way was I paying Skoda anything for a replacement.

I don't use it so I just keep it shut took a few coats and a big bit of wood to use as a wedge..

 

Used a really good quality glue can't remember what it was but apparently it works under water...

 

Really annoying when driving and it would just pop open going over a bump..

 

 

[arthur howison]

Hahaha this makes me chuckle I used blue tack to keep it shut

[DogEgg]

I broke mine exactly the same way.  Just got a replacement from someone breaking a Superb on Ebay, was £20 for box and catch including delivery if that helps.

[arthur howison]

mmm u were lucky

 

[MChris]

Arthur.  Did you resolve this issue?  Mine has just broken on my Mk 3 Superb.

Have a look under the front passenger seat pal, you might find a little storage compartment there as well if you’ve not come across that yet either!

[PMA_Bob]

Mine has also gone. So, it would appear to be poor quality. Car is 7 years old.  I purchased a replacement for a left hand drive. Assumed it would fit. But too small. It attached but struggled to keep it closed. 

[PMA_Bob]

Replacement from Ebay. Slightly narrower. The spring is different. Once fitted it failed to keep closed. May just have to glue it. 

[Winston_Woof]

well blow me down with a feather duster. Had the car 3 weeks now and didn't realise there was a compartment there lol

[freelunch]

It's where I keep my pedal box controller. Haven't had to open it in five years!

[numskull]

Yep - that’s where my controller is too.
