This one is kind of different and I'm not sure it belongs in this forum, but here goes.
On our way to church last weekend, my wife brought my finger rings to me so I could wear them. I don't usually wear them around the house so they were in a container. I have two: one, my wedding band and the other, a ring with a mounted gemstone.
As she was getting into the KJ on the passenger side, she dropped both rings. One, the gemstone mount, lodged in the seat belt retractor housing on the passenger side. She found that immediately. The wedding band went, God knows where. The only open door was the passenger side door and the KJ was still in the garage (concrete floor). She did not hear anything hit the floor, nor have we been successful in locating the ring inside the KJ. I wasn't in the KJ yet.
I have removed the plastic housing from the seat belt retractor, searched under the seats, under the carpet protectors, inside the console, in among the seat slide rails, in the crease between the seat cushion and back rest, in the parking brake handle alcove (or whatever that housing is called), no luck. I am at a loss where to look next.
I was wondering how to remove the console to see if the ring might have somehow lodged in the parking brake handle alcove under the slotted rubber cover. I can't see any latches, or screws, or pry holes to remove it.
Oh, one other thing. I did look under the carpet where there are holes cut for wiring harnesses. No luck there either.
Any ideas? How to take the console out/apart? Anything?
Thanks
