First post from a lurker so hello all, nice forum you have here.
I have an SD card stuck in the glove box slot. It's actually a short SD card so comes flush with the facia. If anyone has any suggestions as to how to extract it without damaging things that'd be much appreciated.
-
Fine tweezers ?
-
Thanks. The SD card actually has a small lug on it that I can pull, however it really does seem quite firmly stuck and I was looking for a way to encourage it before I do any damage.
-
Sounds a bit brutal but if there is a small lug to grip could you not wiggle it, to loosen, with long nose pliers
-
Cheers, I'll have another go tonight. I'd started to wonder if this SD slot had any physical way it anchors the card in.
On a much more important matter...what a brilliant little car! I love it!
-
I know this might seem a bit obvious (and apologies if that's the case), but you have pushed the SD back in first haven't you ?
They latch once inserted and you need to push firmly fully back in (you will hear a click) and it should spring back out.
-
erm, maybe [sic not]...rushes out to car park to fiddle in glove box... :embarrassed:
-
unfortunately, it's still stuck in...what do you reckon to inserting a strip of plastic down one side or the other to try to disengage it?
-
If its a short SD card, are you pushing it in far enough in order to release itself?
I don't know how short short is but I'd imagine it would have to actually go inside the unit before it pops back out. I don't think your finger would manage that maybe your nail?
-
I'd use something like a small flat headed screwdriver to give it a push to release the lock - you will feel it when it pops out.
Then if it doesn't pop out enough to grab it once its unlocked , try a pair of tweezers.
It should however pop out far enough - I can't see that it can be so short that you actually managed to get it into the slot otherwise.

Did you read my post on this thread?
