i dropped one of my girlfriend's diamond earring down in my center console(where the e-brake) is, it fell below under the plastic cup holder center console piece..i took out the the shifter and cup holder plastic pieces to look under them and i could not find it..i am for sure it fell into one of the holes in the metal shroud that is connected to the bottom of my gear shifter column, which the whole unit covers the center buldge of the tc's floor. does anyone know or have taken that metal piece off that could tell me how to take it out?? i know it is a removable piece because Toyota would not have put a bunch of holes in it for stuff to fall into and never be found again...ANY help would be very appreciatted.

 

damn that sucks. it dint seem easy takin that metal part off, when i was installin my short shifter.. i dropped a screw in there too. i got it out the gheto way. gorilla tape and a screwdriver. i guess u can try that? until then wait for sum1 else. just tryin to help. peace

 

now is the time to surprise her with some new earrings

 

it's not gonna come out...

gotta get cha a nice grabbing tool and/or magnet... (if the earring is even magnetic)

 

or when all else fails, tell her the truth. lol make sure u get her at the right time or else its the sofa for u. mine is actually pretty comfortable..

 

what was u doing with your girlfriends earrings.........

 

told the girl friend that the wife was starting to wonder where her earings went ;) j/p i would try a flexible grabbing tool that has a little light on it i know that is a very hard spot to get too specially with a hand

 

hella sux man! such a tiny object down there will b REALLY hard to get out...but good luck with that..

 

Pretty sure that's welded on there:





Outside chance you lucked out and it fell/rolled under the driver's seat when you removed the center console?

 

Go to like home depot and buy one of those little cameras that people use for wiring and stick it in the hole find where it is and drill there and pull it out. Then take the camera back.

I've dropped a bolt or nut (can't remember) down there and was able to get it being very careful.lol
