    This is a tough one

    Okay, my daughter had some coins and decided that the little crack between the pocket and door panel would be a good place to insert them - passenger side rear. Now, every time I hit the gas or brake, They roll forward and back and there doesn't seem to be any easy way for me to get at them. Does anyone know how I should go about it? (Photo needs to be rotated 90 degrees clockwise)

    If you never exceed the limits, how do you know where they are?

    I think if you just remove the door card, or at least try to do so a bit from one end, maybe you can reach in and retrieve them?

    Sorry, I'm unfamiliar with what a door card is. I looked closely and couldn't figure out a way to pull the pocket out any further. It appeared like I had to remove the door panel which I've never done.

    Thank you for this post. I subscribed to the channel. Never heard of a door panel being called a door card.

    So I’m reviving this post ‘cause I finally took the door card off and found the coin is actually in the door handle! How in the world do I get in there?

    Maybe through the window angle switch?? That’s a tough one!

    is there a way to take the ash tray out completely? Not just the inner tray, but the outer part that it goes into?

    Thanks Strigag. The problem is in the rear passenger door handle where my kids somehow got a coin inside that rolls back when I’m on the throttle and then forward when I’m on the brake. So the ashtray I was talking about is the small one in that door handle. Thanks again.
