Paper receipt slid down under the cup cover in my 1794 - how do I get it out?

I can't see it, but I can hear it hit when I open the cover lid. I think these covers are only in 1794 and platinum's. I really don't want to have to tear my console apart to get to it.
Any thoughts or ideas on how to get it? thinking maybe a wire or something to fish it out?

 

Suck it up! Got a shop vac and a wet towel to wrap up around the area?

 

What a first world problem.

 

Thanks, actually, I just finished watching that before I posted. That, and another guy that pulled just his center console - both trd pro's. I might try the other guy's shop vac/wet towel idea. I tried earlier today with just a regular vacuum, but it didn't have enough suction...I also tried to pull it out, with a section of weed whacker (plastic/metal) whip to see if I could get to it that way, no luck.

 

Unfortunately, the end is to large on that - if it was just the grasping teeth, that might work. I might look at the auto parts store later.

 

I am trying to figure out how/where the paper is that is in there, has anyone taken one of these platinum/1794 console cupholders out? (they are different then the SR5/limited/trd pro ... maybe capstone is similar haven't looked yet.

 

Or compressed air if that doesn't work.

 

I was thinking maybe a car wash vacuum for max suction would be my next option. Just guessing since I have no idea what the situation looks like.

 

Yeah, mine's not like that one, is no wider than around 3/16" tube at the end. Just grabbed the first picture I could find online, but you get the idea.

 

Here is a picture of a 1794 - the red line, is an almost 0 clearance edge. There is more open space on the back side of this cover as you can see in the second pic as he is closing it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKYakWIy1yg - at 12:27 or so into the video.

 

Oh man. Yes, that is pretty tight. I'd try the shop vac, like 2mchfun said otherwise, I might just leave it alone assuming it isn't making too much noise.

 

What's the receipt for? Winning powerball ticket I can understand taking the truck apart to get, but most receipts I don't think I'd put this much effort into retrieving.

 

Find a piece of steel pallet banding material and apply a strip of scotch double sided tape to it and go fishing. Again, I'm not putting a bunch of serious thought into it, just throwing ideas out.

 

Every time (which isn't often) I open/close that lid, you can hear the paper crunch below... at some point, I'd imagine it might stop... or not. more irritating then not... and yes, if it was powerball ... I'd have already taken it apart. LOL.

 

Aaaahh, gotchya'... That's an easy fix.

 

OP, just admit it’s a receipt for HK in TJ and we will understand and get serious.

 

Fixed this... it was actually easier then I imagined. Though the reason I ended up doing it, wasn't fun... I was broken into - smashed my passenger side window and took a crowbar to my console safe.... anyhow, gouged the top of the cup holder wood grain cover. So, I replaced the safe/window/cupholder. Tore apart the center console, and found that there is a bowl like wrap around the bottom of the cup holder, probably to keep liquid /dirt from getting down onto the wires and such below - anyhow, when I took that off to replace the cupholder, the paper fell out. fixed...
