How to I retrieve my gift card?

[SaverioB]

I apologize in advance for the seemingly silly question, but there is some money involved
I placed a gift card on the front tunnel cover (the ashtray cover) and it disappeared. I looked everywhere, and I believe it just slipped in the crack that you see in the photo.
Tell me I don't have to go to the dealer. Is there anything I can remove without making a mess?

I think the side carpet trim pops off I have the same issue and will be investigating at the weekend

Cool I will try today or tomorrow as well. Keep me posted if you manage. Thanks!!

The above replies are correct. Move the driver seat back all the way.
Grab the side trim at the bottom and pull hard, it will pop off.
The hardest part is getting your head, hand and flashlight in there to see and remove it.
I had to retrieve a few cards in the past few months doing this.
I went from the driver side and got the cards, same access from the passenger side.

So glad I spotted this thread to stop me from doing it.

Funny, I've never had this compartment closed. Keys, wallet, charger seems to be always there.

I did....once! Card was about half in & out. I usually have the bigger compartment open (water bottle) so I cover the charger port with the screen wipe cloth and put the cards underneath
