Center compartment losing things!

[bobward757]

2019 Expy. Any time I place something on the forward sliding door it inevitably slides forward into the netherworld. I’ve tried everything to retrieve the items that have slid into there with no avail. Does anybody know of any access to that area behind the forward compartment underneath the heater control? Is there any simple way to retrieve those items? The picture below will illustrate. Many thanks

I did lose a card of my own down there not long after I bought the truck. I was able to pry the trim in the foot well near the gas pedal out a little and it slid out. Try that.

Im gonna head over to Oreilys Auto Parts and see if they have the perfect size rubber tubing that I can cut to length and press snuggly into that space just out of sight and work as a stop.

A small section of stick on foam insulation tape is great for preventing item sliding into the where did that go world.
