Parking Ticket Holder - Removal

K5 Gus · Dec 22nd, 2014, 16:19

It annoys me, I like a nice clutter free windscreen, and I can see it out of the corner of my eye when driving, and also looks a bit naff from the outside.

Completely unnecessary as well, you can just leave a ticket on the dash and it's easy to see.

Has anyone removed theirs ? Is it easy to do ? Had a very quick look and couldn't see how it was fitted, might need to remove some trim but thought I'd check and see if anyone else was annoyed with it and had already got rid.

ps Not sure if the XC60 has this or if it's just a S60/V60 thing..............it's a plastic clip thing on the driver's A pillar

If you take it off - it could be a deal breaker when you come to resell it.

I find it very useful for parking tickets and boarding passes.
Leave your parking ticket on the dash and you may have to go back to the machine on a windy day.

Very useful Item, I suggest that you leave it as you will stop seeing it quickly ands in 6 months you will be cursing yourself for removing it.

Haven't been in a car for many years that doesn't have one, and I can see why.

for my previous car (S--Max) i actually bought an adhesive one from Halfords I found it so useful !

Ever tried removing a parking ticket from a windscreen air vent?

I looked at mine today. It seems quite retro, I like it.
