someone reported this before and posted on it. and he even took apart some of the carpeting to see where the coin fell and if i recall based on what he found it seemed to be a bit of a design flaw that a coin could get into that area. at the very least itd be super annoying to hear it rattle all the time.
Yeah I raised the seat as much as I could, unlatched the plastic cover underneath and still couldn’t get my hand in. Near impossible.

I’m definitely going to get some kind of Velcro patch for that hole to prevent this from happening again. Drop stop or not, it’s inevitable that something will go under the seat sooner or later

So you had the seat removed just for this or was there another reason?
The SC said the only way to remedy this was to get the seat removed so they could get to it. Hearing a coin slide back and forth beneath the seat to the back footwell is pretty damn annoying

its funny how people find ways to let manufacturers off the hook by asking why anyone would carry change or suggesting we buy a crumb catcher. how about making it so coins dont fall into an area like that.
Agreed…

Where is the hole or slot that you are covering. I guess I could go peak around under the seat, but I am lazy and trying to not reinvent your search.

Just drop a magnet down there. It'll eventually stick!
