Open the glove box and reach in with both hands, one on each side. Feel the back where there are two plastic stoppers (one on each side) that prevent the box from opening further. You'll feel that both of these are spring-loaded and can be pushed up, releasing the drawer and letting it open all the way. This opens up the space behind the back wall of the box and you should be able to get your card easily.

 

Thanks a lot! Followed the instructions and it worked like a charm!

 

@ChiMatt thanks for the advice I’m sure it will come in handy to lots of people.

 

To give credit where credit is due: I learned this information in this forum (but I can't find the thread anymore).

 

I would leave the Plugsurfing card there, in Denmark its a bit of a scam with more than 100% overcharge when they resell Clever and EON - its ok for Ionity…not sure how it is in other countries - sorry for this irrelevant comment, I am interested in the solution, could be my credit card…

 

Over here it is the same story: Plugsurfing is only cheaper for Ionity but for everything else, it is more expensive (sometimes 2 times!). In Switzerland, there are only a few Ionity stations so far but as it so happens, two of them are on the roads that I use from time to time.

Thanks. I had a look this morning. Pushing these 2 fellas upwards (simultaneously) releases a catch.

Then as you mentioned, the glove box fully opens. Couldn’t figure out the weighty opening (steady!!), but the car is at Volvo tomorrow for trim treatment so hopefully they can sort it with ease.

Might be helpful. Might not.

 

Same thing happened to me just now - insurance card fell down the back while I was trying to find the elusive card holder!

 

Press this buttons!
