There are two 1" drops in the duct and also center posts that makes it very difficult to even get a coat hanger far enough in to reach the coins. Then there is a corner to go around. You couldn't get the smallest nozzle from a vacuum cleaner in more than about 6". I don't believe you could get a dime out if it isn't flat as there is just no room.
Thanks for the help but the vacuum just won't work.

Also did you set the ac to cold and dash vent so that the floor vents are closed off and your not just sucking air from the plenum box?

I had them keep the candy so that one day, I can drop it in the vent on his first car.

i know you said you want to get to it from console side, is there any way to use compressed air or a air tank blower from console side and blow them back out or farther towards the seat opening? I'm thinking pop off center dash piece and feed air hose down until your in that pipe and then turn it on? I'd think that kinda air pressure would blow the coins
