Need help! Car ate my parking card.
So I was driving up through the parking garage this morning and I toss the card on the dash like I normally do. Well this time it slid too much and fell down the crack between the windshield and the dash. I need this card to get out of the garage. How the heck do I get back there without removing anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

That is the never ending bottomless pit. I found that out when i tossed my disabled placard up and almost lost it. And it is not small.
Most likley the only way to get it is to remove the dash.

I think your car was trying to tell you that she didn't want to be parked! Good luck getting that out of there. Love to hear how you get it out, if you do. Also, thanks for the warning about the hungry dash....I'll make sure not to let stuff sit on there.

i had a pass that slid down but i could see a little bit of it covering the VIN so i found a vaccum with a small attachment and sucked it out but i dont think it would work if it is actually gone.

Can you see the card? When I went to the car wash they put a coupon on the dash. Well, same as you down the hatch.
I wrapped 2" clear box tape on some stiff wire and I was able to fish it out.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I went over to the garage during lunch and I cant see the card at all. I tried removing the plastic panel on the side of the dash but I can barely see anything in there let alone stick my hand in there. As you can imagine the lighting in the garage is pretty bad so I'll see if I can have a better look once I get home. Anyways keep the suggestions coming. Thanks

Well I lucked out. The card got stock right at the base of the window next to the vin number with the magnetic side up. As I drove by the gate I was hoping it would still read the card and luckily it did. Just like that I was released from the dark gloomy garage. When I got home I was able to use a plastic tie wrap to move the card to where I could reach it. So there you go, be careful with placing objects in the dash, it will eat it right up. Thanks for the suggestions guys.
