Dropped Ciggy Lighter

[tobeee]

The housing for the fag lighter has dropped into the door arm-rest thingy on my chim. Is there a simple way of removing the leather arm-rest lump to fix this without removing the door skin?

I'll be trying to fix it this weekend, but am wondering how it fixes in place once you push it back through the armrest. It's going to take a fair bit of abuse as I'll be pushing a phone connector into it daily, so the clips/brackets or whatever must be strong... are they, or is there a modification I can try?

No luck there then! Took the speaker off (piece of cake!) but the window mechanism blocked my route any further. I couldn't find any screws to remove the armrest bit or the window motor to make way for my skinny arm, so put the speaker back on instead. I have managed to unscrew and retrieve part of the lighter through the lighter hole, but the main bit is obviously bigger than the hole! Might just have to crush the tin casing to get it through and then reshape it afterwards... what a failure!

Actually, now you come to mention it, I might have been tackling this with the window down! What a chump! I'll try again this week!
