I was fumbling with some change at a toll booth and dropped a nickel. It’s a perfect fit in the seat holes. I can’t even get an x-acto knife in there to pry it out. Does anybody have any suggestions? Do the plastic rings pop out?

a wooden pencil end with a drop of crazy glue, let it harden and pull it out.

Solution 1) Fart in one of the other holes. It should lift right off.
Solution 2) Get 8 more for the other holes. For under a 1$ you could have a similar finish - just like the buttons.

Sorry, I could not resist.

Charge an extra .25 cents for your car when you sell it.

my son thinks this is a great game. does it about everytime he's in one of the Gt's. I carry a nerf dart from one of his nerf guns. Lick the suction cup and press down. Put pressure on the seat ( lean on one of your hands with most of your body weight .. it releases the edge of the coin from the cup) and pull SLOWLY out. Turn your hand at an angle as you lift in case the suction cup releases the coin. It will be on an edge then just grab it with a pair of needle nose plyers.

Must have taken $50 in change total out this way. What can I say? I love the kid. :lol

Put wunna your wife's nylons over the nozzle first to catch the coin so you won't hafta "dumpster dive" in the 'bag.

Flipping the car over would definately solve the problem :)

Measure carefully and drill an access hole from the bottom of the GT. Then simply push it out with a wooden rod. Don't use a metal rod as it may scratch the paint!

Thanks for all the ideas. I had already tried the suction cup & tape methods, but the coin was in too tight. The farting idea was creative (HHGT), but I was afraid that if I pushed too hard, I might blow my nuts off, so I had to take a pass on that one. I ended up using 5 minute epoxy and a large dowel. Even with all the leverage I had, I was surprised at how snug it was.

Thanks all.
