ltravisjr Posted March 6, 2023 Report Share Posted March 6, 2023 (edited) Strange request here but a strange situation so I will give it a shot… On the passenger side of my 2017 Energi, next to the center console: if you approach that area at the floor from the behind the seat, there is a 1” wide hole where the floorboard meets the seat track. Well, we lost a hearing aid in there. Somehow it landed behind that opening when we dropped it between the seat and console. I saw it and stuck my finger in to grab it and it disappeared, maybe dropping down deeper below the floorboard. So, is there any viable way to get into that space to retrieve it or am I stuck having to either go to a body shop or just replace the heating aid?

homestead Posted March 6, 2023 Report Share Posted March 6, 2023 I have seen that hole and looked for something I dropped in there too. They have mini attachments you can get for a vacuum with a small flexible tube. You could stick the flexible tube in the hole and move it around and try to capture the hearing aid with the suction.

ltravisjr Posted March 6, 2023 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2023 Thanks Homestead. For the price that’s definitely worth a try. To be honest, I’m amazed anyone else even knew about that hole so it’s great to see a possible solution so quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
