dashboard removal

I managed to lose my parking pass between the front of the dashboard (center area) and windshield. It just slid right down the crack and disappeared completely from sight. Does anyone know of a quick way to get it out of there short of removing the entire dash board? and if not, is there a quick and easy way to remove the dashboard?

Thanks in advance!

Cant you apply for a new pass?
it would be easier than ripping your dash apart.

You can try remove some of these pieces (in yellow circles, they are super easy to remove. Start with the air vent) and take a look. If you can see the pass, it's a good sign.

As azn_fcuk stated, new parking pass is easier.

There is no easy way to remove and reinstall Dashboard. It’s a 8 hour job if you know what you are doing with gotchas every step of the way.

removing air vents in the middle is not too hard and you might get lucky to see your pass. How about some sticky tape on tiny sheet metal? Make sure they dont join your pass
