I stupidly took my wedding ring off while driving and put it on a sticky-pad thingy on the dash-shelf in front of the steering wheel.
Took off at a green light and it slid toward the wheel, fell down and just disappeared...anyone take apart this section successfully that can offer instructions?

Thanks a ton in advance!!

that happened to me!!

I felt like i was going to tear my whole steering wheel console...

turns out that it was hanging along the plastic along the steering wheel console...there's a small lip that pops out and keeps it stuck in there.

I tried moving the steering wheel column up and down; you might hear it move around...then you'll be able to pinpoint where it is.

good luck!

Thanks, I'll give it a try!!

Why dont you just try using a magnetic pick up tool. Should invest in one of those I use especially when im working in the engine compartment and i drop i screw somewhere and i cant reach it.

Hope you don't ever get stopped by a police K-9 unit for anything.

did you check near the bottom of the consoles? perhaps around the hood release...or around that trailing edge? there's a piece of metal around that area...could be lodged in there somewhere as well.

I had to laugh at that one.

if it was me i'd just take advantage of the situation and hit up all the clubs i could...

I just heard this story on The Car Talk Podcast last night.
Pulling the screws from the plastic bottom of the column was the solution they offered.
I can not confirm this will work, but it's worth a shot.

i lost my ring as well down there...took me like forevers to figure out how to get it out but i did...had to unscrew the bolts in the compartment then the 2 screws on each side of the whole thing and pull out the beige tabs on each side...lift the whole thing up and reach in to get it...might need someones help cause was hard trying to lift the whole thing and get my hand out by myself...GOOD LUCK...hope this helps
