I have broken the parking ticket holder on my 2022 Karoq.  I know it is screwed in behind the A pillar trim but don't want to chance breaking the trim when removing it without some knowledge of how it comes off.  Does anyone know how to safely remove and re-fit the trim piece without damaging it and anything else into the bargain?  Thank you.

I replaced this on my Superb. It will probably be a similar procedure. Pull the A pillar trim downwards slightly and simultaneously slip a trim remover or similar such as a plastic lever under the edge of the trim and gently ease it away from the pillar. It will probably be  held on by 3-4 metal clips.  Once one clip releases the others will then pop out. The ticket holder was retained by a single bolt.

I did mine recently and it was a bit of a nightmare. Getting it back on was the harder part. Start from the top and pull it towards you but also pull upwards. The top one should pop out (there are three clips). Then move to the middle one, then finally the lower one (be careful as the bottom speaker is connected and when 3 clips are removed you can unplug the speaker). The parking ticket holder wasn’t held in with a screw but a small black rivet type thing. I used pliers to gently remove and tweezers to remove the parts of the previous ticket holder that were stuck in the ridge. I then reused the small black rivet thing to clip in the new ticket holder. Fitting the trim back was hard as I was wedging it in from the windscreen side first so I could see the clips but took an hour and they still didn’t line up. I then fitted the side neared the door at the bottom first and looked from the outside of the windscreen in and they finally lined up. They then clipped in. It’s a job I wouldn’t want to do again in a hurry but looks like I may have to. My DAB reception is useless and someone on here said they replaced the DAB amplifier to solve this which is in the trim in the boot so I may have to try this.

Do you really need to? I've never used a parking ticket holder and I first had one over 10 years ago

If you feel it is too difficult or too much hassle to remove the trim. You can buy stick-on transparent clips on ebay for a coupl

e of quid.
