Default Key Inside Door...unbelieveable
Can Anyone Advise Me How To Properly Remove The Drivers Side Door Panel On My 98. The Other Day I Was Being Handed A Very Important "key" And Sure Enough, Our Hands Collided And The Key Went Right Down In THE Window Slot. Not Only Is It Rattling But I Reeeeeally Need That Key. If Anyone Can Walk Me Through This, Please Help...especially What Not To Do?
Thanx
Mike

Default How about a small magnet to get the key out?
How about a small magnet on a string. Let it dangle down there and the magnet and key could rattle together, then pull up with the string or fishing line?

Aren't most keys made of brass these days? Non-magnetic.
