Spilled change between pass seat and door- ideas?

KirkH · 10-12-2016, 05:36 PM

I spilled about half a red solo cup full of change between the passenger seat and door. I got out as much as I could but there is still a lot of change under there. When I move the seat forward there is a crunch sound like coins breaking, so I don't want to move seat again.

Any ideas? How difficult is seat removal? Shop vac nozzle will not fit. It is literally like a coin slot between the trim and the seat.

Really pisses me off because I rented a 16 Mustang GT last week and one of the pros for the Mustang that I reported was room under the seats for retrieval of lost items.

No way to go from the front or back?

Try this lighted pickup tool:

I bought mine at Home Depot for less. At some point this was voted "tool of the year" by somebody. I paid < $10. At that price I certainly agree.

Simple magnet pickup tool should do the trick.

I am hoping that you are joking LOL!

Coins are not magnetic.

I would raise the seat to the highest level and take a small ratchet and socket and get underneath and pull the Seat. Can't be that hard

Yeah; the magnet idea is the "best"..

MrChrisLS3 · 10-13-2016, 12:09 AM

How much was it? Just add it to the price of the car at resale or trade in.

ctrlz · 10-13-2016, 08:57 AM

Some US coins are weakly attracted to magnets, primarily due to nickel content. But even a nickel is only like 25% nickel. Not enough to stick to a magnet like some clad steel coins from other countries.
My experience trying to unbolt seats has often led to encounters with some of the most miserably strong threadlocker. Same with seatbelt anchors.

Do you have a good leaf blower?

Michigan1LTRS · 10-13-2016, 09:10 AM

Air compressor blower attached should do the trick, of course you need an air compressor. A good one.
