Coins down front of windscreen...Help!!!

[Trotty]

Hi there,

I had to break quick and the coins that represented my next McDonald’s shot forward and are now out of sight making a rattling noise. Any tips on getting them out? and don’t say turn the van upside down and shake it......

I recall a video, which was "selling" the excellent rubber strip that solves the problem that to get at the trough of goodies you need to take the speaker grille out.

I got a load of biro pens out (from previous owner) using a flexible plastic ruler with a cloth covering the end to make it fatter and avoid scratching anything. I pushed everything down the passenger side. I then put some double sided tape on the ruler to get them out. I then put a rubber strip along there sold for the purpose on eBay to avoid any further items disappearing. This at least got rid of a few rattling sounds. Unfortunately there was no money in the gap

Think it's in the clubshop now ...

I think I must have lost £30 down mine before I purchased one https://vwcaliforniaclub.com/shop/product/vw-t5-t6-dashboard-gap-seal-trim

Credit cards do not rattle

Thanks guys, I will get one of those stripy things. After I’ve had the speaker grills off. I guess the only other concern is if stuffs ended up down the air vents. Though I assume they would have dropped way down never to be seen again?

Braking saved you twice, once from hitting whatever and once from a mcD!

So far I have lost a £15 sticker that I was going to fit, a prepaid cash card and worst of all my wife lost her wedding ring! (in slow motion lol) It took about an hour but some how I managed to hook the ring up with a paper clip and the help of my iPhone in video mode with the flash on...
I think that seal might be a good purchase!

An added bonus of the rubber strip from the club shop is that you have to cut a bit off the end as it comes a bit long....at least for a t6....which makes a neat rubber stopper to ventilate the fridge when not in use.
