Re: Sat Nav eject button sticking
Posted: Fri Sep 05, 2025 12:16 am
Just returned from the annual euro trip, during which the sat nav release ‘arm’ broke, rendering me unable to remove the sat nav from the mount.
Once I’d disassembled the covers, I used a dremmel to cut slots into the bolts which allowed me to undo the nuts.
I then fashioned a 57x9x2mm piece of metal, chamfered it slightly and pushed it into the button recess and reassembled. The button sticks in but the nav will now release.
Just for info in case anyone suffers a broken release arm.
