How do you operate the Peugeot Boxer dashboard map holder

It all depends if you actually have one!

Early models, with a passenger airbag won't, it'll just have the dashboard mounted clip.

If you do have one, it just pulls up

Pulls up from the back, it can be a bit stiff

Pull from the back. It will come up if there is one. Mine needs a tug

It might if you pull too hard.

Sorted, folks….new and stiff, requiring heft!!
Thanks all

Try some silicone spray on the mechanism.

Thanks Drexl- we managed to release it, with controlled heft, thanks for assisting

Good point, dont know if delivery drivers actually use them but I’ve stuck a shiny round disc thingy on mine which holds my sat nav on it , works a treat also….
If you buy sandwiches in those triangular boxes, you can open the lid and clip it in the clip. Handy sandwich holder.
Obviously I dont eat while driving ,

It's brilliant. I've been using mine with an "old" / "defunct" ipad with google maps / waze / search for sites like a sat nav. It's a game changer!

I removed the cover completely, it revealed a very useful bit of extra storage, especially for the satnav holder.

Just yank it up from the top and open the jaws with the tab on the LHS. Close the tab before slamming it shut / down.
I use it to hold an old tablet which only has apps for motorhoming: Google maps / My Maps, S4S, P4N, OS Maps etc. Connected via usb while driving, tethered to the mobile phone so it keeps the routes updated. Also use Google Keep (Synced to SWMBOs tablet) to keep checklists for arrival, departure, next trip needs, site directions, etc. Oh and of course a Home screen button for MHF!
