Default Info screen jammed

I put something in the storage compartment behind infoscreen and therefore jammed the screen from going up or down. Small opening at the top (quarter inch). Any suggestions on manually opening? Ideas? Help!

Well, you can turn the car upside down and shake it a little, otherwise, you get to see how the dash can come apart. Sorry, there is no really easy way to get in there to fix this.


If there is an opening, maybe a piece of 12 or 10 gauge wire can be bent on a 90° bend and you might be able to hook the item enough to release the bind.

Yeah, a piece of coat-hanger would be my suggestion. You've discovered exactly why some of us forget the screen even moves. Good luck (and I hope what you put in the bin isn't critical).

Depending how jammed the item is you might be able to brake hard and cause the item to move.
