Okay...heres wt my dumbass did. I usually keep my spare change in the little area between the seat heater buttons (99 TL). I had decided to clean everything up and get rid of the coins, then I saw that there was a gap in the back part of that area. So being stupid I decided to pull on it to see if it came off...without removing the coins As soon as I realized that it does come off! I tried to put it back in place as I had only nudged if off a bit...but the coins had already started falling.

Does anyone know how to get at the coins? What is exactly behind that area I hope it doesnt screw something up?

Thanks

if you want all that change back, good luck. I was working on a project once in the center area around there. some of the change i retrieved was only accessible after i had the whole thing stripped away. Some ziners have found change that worked its way under the carpeting(not the mats) almost to the doors. quite a bit of it too.

There isn't really too much the change can hurt back there, but good luck getting it back. Try pulling off the wood grain panels, then the plastic panel on each side of the CD player. You should be able to see a little bit in there and you can even pull back the carpet some to get under it.

You sure your looking in the right spot? What year do you have? It's a black female port there as soon as you remove it, BAMM!!!! Its in your face LoL.

03s arent there.

Only way to retrieve the coins are to take the center console apart and hand pick them out. The only thing they could do is interfere with the shifter cable and rattle.

Mines is an 03 and the port is near where the pedals are.

Thanks everyone, as long as it wont screw anything up I'm not to worried. I will attempt to get some coins out next time I clean the car.

Can't you pick up canadian coins with a magnet?

Maybe one of those magnets on a flexible rod that tech use to get tools, bolts, and screws that fell into the engine bay.

I had 20 bucks worth once i pulled my carpet out

And thats not all of it. There is a ton under the floor vents and on the drivers side.

^ I bet every last cent was used for the beer runs while doing the swap.

LOL i remember when i saw my carpet ripped apart for my swap! I asked what happened to all the coins on the floor, and you know what they showed me? a 12 ounce styrofoam cup filled 1/2 way up with quarters nickels dimes and pennies. poured them out and counted 17.34 including 2 x dollar coins that happened to be in there. lol

LOL thats hilarious, I know I have a ton of change under the carpet.

I knew coins were dropping down there, i usually try to keep it pretty empty since i know they fall out, but i was like WTF when that carpet came out. Im sure i have a bunch down there already with all the wheel hop i have
