Hi,

Got a simple question regarding the note holder.

It is glued between the pillar and windscreen in any way?

I want to move mine up because it's in the way of the sat nav mount, but I didn't want to go pulling in just in case...

My guess is that it's just wedged in there!

If it's like the one in my Fabia, it's actually bonded between the windscreen and the A pillar AFAIK...

its bonded and screwed in with a self although the bond will come loose and the self tapper can be unscrewed.

Drat!!!

I assume windscreen removal is required to get the screw out?

nope its dead easy. just pull off the A pillar trim (care needed and its more involved if you have curtain airbags) and you can get to the screw with a small phillips.

Ahh - ticket holder - that's why my search didn't find much!

Right ok - so I can just make a small hole in the a pillar to help the self-tapping screw along! Nice job!

Thanks all - just proves I should ask experts before attempting to just yank it out!

It's far easier to remove the trim than guess just where to drill a hole. I've taken it myself and it unclips.

I think he means drilling a hole so he can relocate it.

So he does!

I've been hedge cutting all day that's why I am totally

There is detailed article in here about the ticket holder complete with photographs by VRStu.

Thanks for the advice! I've just pulled off the trim and unscrewed the ticket holder - as suspected - it's now in three parts.

Phone Skoda to order a replacement - but no call back yet. In the mean time, I've stuck it back together with some tape and mounted it in a position near the top of the windscreen.

Unfortunately the gap between where the plastic should now screw in is a few mm out - so for the moment I've bodged it in with a rolled up bit of tape which serves the purpose of gilling the gap and sticking it the pillar. I've also used a bit more tape to keep it on the pillar.

Actually - although it looks like a real botch it's done the job of making the ticket holder a more secure against the window; moved the ticket holder out the way so I can place my satnav mount correctly and also allows me to run the TMC cable up the pillar.

Nice job!
