Had a couple of kids in the back seat and have stuffed a tissue down the grab handle of the rear armrest, surprise surprise now it wont open.
I have tried sticking screwdrivers down there to to move it, even though i cant see it.
When i press the handle to pull the the armrest down nothing happens, just a clicking noise.
I havent got the load through rear seats. Pulled the bottom or the rear seats out today to try and get at 'it' but havent a clue how to remove the seat back, and
even if i did if i could get the the back ot the armrest to dislodge the tissue.
Any ideas?

Thanks for the links, just had a quick look and i must say that looks pretty complicated to carry out
Anyone have any easier way for a novice?

I can't imagine a tissue would cause such a problem -- I never advocate applying excessive force to anything but at this point, wouldn't the tissue be the weakest link? In other words, unless something else is stuck in there, how the heck could a tissue hold things up?

It's another case of assault with a deadly tissue incident. Are you sure it's a tissue stuck there? Kids do lie you know. I suggest taking it to your dealership.

I have tried with all my force, not alot to be fair, but the handle just sort of 'collapse's' into its self and makes a clicking noise.
Dont really want a stupid bill from the dealership for something trivia but am picky so would like it fixed.
