My daughter accidently dropped a penny in the rear right seat buckle next to her integrated booster seat. I can just see the side of the coin. I've tried small needle-nose pliers to remove, but no luck.
Any advice on how to get it out short of unbolting the buckle?
Thanks! Scott

I you guys. (That's your cue, Chilled Man!)

hey there

I GOT UT OUT!!!!!
A dime in my Toyota Camry. Here's how….
Tools: 1)an ice pick, long narrow pointed metal, and 2)tweezers, or surgical clamp, or the like (but not necessarily requi).

Procedure: The coin is probably stuck below the red release button.
Below the red button is a space where the coin is located, trapped. Squeezed tight.
Below that is a platform. Use the ice pick to press down the platform, loosening the coin from being trapped.
Give the buckle a gentle shake to make the coin lean so you can see the top. (YES!! moment). Then just use whatever to extract/slide the coin up and out!!!

Raise a glass, beat your chest, go play the lottery!!
Today is YOUR DAY!!

You could try bending a paper clip into an L or J shape, see if you can fish it out that way. At work now, can't look at the buckle to see if that's feasible.

Pull the rear seat (just two clips) unbolt the seatbelt and shake it upside down. If it's really stuck, I would not try taking any of the button assembly apart,. Just replace it. That part is prob 50 bucks, if that.

If you have any locksmithing tools, a broken key extractor would do it. I like the super glue idea, but be careful the super glue doesnt get anywhere else in the assembly!
