Default Lost My Phone In My Car

I had my phone in the driver's footwell of my 944. I drove around the corner to get gas, went to pick it up, and it was gone. I've checked the best I can, and cannot find it. It must be under the seat somewhere, or in some crevice unknown to me. How hard is it to detach a 4 way power driver's seat to be able to fully see/feel under the seat to see if that's where my phone is?

Raise the seat up all the way, then peek under it with a flashlight. its there. if not it slid out behind the seat into the rear seats.

Yeah, the little depression area underneath the seats works pretty well for swallowing things up. Lift the seat up all the way and then try sliding it forward/backwards to see if you can find it.

It's pretty easy to remove the seat:

1) Slide the seat all the way back and remove the bolts that hold the seat rail to the floor
2) Slide the seat all the way forward and remove the same bolts in the rear
3) Remove petrified french fries, etc. whilst retrieving wayward cell phone

I found it without removing the seat. It was right in the middle towards the front. You can't see or clearly reach that area from the front or back. I ended up scraping my wrist to get it - people are going to think I'm a cutter for a few days :-/

I just changed out the seats in the 944 I have owned for 22 years. The change that had fallen out of my pockets over those years had the funniest film on it. It was white and crusty.

I don't think that was some fungus. It sounds like he has been playing too much pocket pool.
