Dropped small earring between passenger seat and console, it has disappeared.

Hi I dropped a small earring in a small tiny bag between my passenger and car seat. I spend hours searching for it but it can't be found. Anyone know where it might have fell into, or have any ideas?

Yes, yes I do know unfortunately.

There's an opening in the floor which houses some of the seat mechanics and it's likely that the earring has fallen into this hole. I lost a USB down there.

If you absolutely need it back, I would inquire with the dealership about removing the seat.

I mean it was in a little plastic back, you think it got down there? isn't that more toward the center of the seat? I thought the bag would prevent it from rolling there.

If you can't see it then I don't know where else it would go. From my recollection, the opening is closer to the console than in the middle but I could be wrong.

I just rechecked (and found a receipt I was looking for lol) and if you move the seat all the way forward, you'll see the opening is quite close to the console, on the driver's side anyway.

Get a shop vac. Clean the shop vac out well. Be sure there is a filter over the discharge. Try and vacuum it up.

That might work if you used a flexible nozzle. The area is so tight, that a hand can barely fit but if you attached something like a paper towel tube to the end of the shop vac nozzle it might be enough to at least draw it out of the hole.
