It is a big deal because - at least in my case - the stuck card impacted the movement of the slider.

FYI: After having to pull my console apart to get to a lost credit card, I did end up buying the above accessory. I modified it slightly by using 3M tape to connect a strip of foam weatherstripping (exact same width as console door) to the bottom of this accessory. It now prevents any cards from sliding into the abyss.I wonder if this Topfit Accessory would prevent cards from sliding into the abyss? At this price I'm not sure I'd buy one for myself, but if I get one for xmas, I'll let you know what I think.
Came across this thread when I had this exact issue - replying with some pictures so it can help the next person. I had previously lost a check that slid down and back behind. I tried everything from rulers, to vaccum cleaners to try to get it out. Until I found this thread:
Press down on the tray below the nav screen, there is a tab both left and right. It will take some force. I did one side at a time.

Then slide the tray out towards you.

You can then see thru to the back and reach to get your paper, CC, etc that has fallen behind.

Putting it back is simple, there are back tabs on the tray to insert easily into backside, then pop the tray back up into position on the left and right clips.
The bottom of the cubby hole above the center console easily pops down which gives you good access to reach behind the the sliding door of the lower console with the lid in the closed position.
I lost a check in that same spot awhile ago and called my service center who told me it was really easy to do.
So I know it’s been a few years since you posted but your thread just saved me a trip to the DMV. This just happened a few minutes ago and I followed your instructions and got the card right out! I’m so happy right now! THANK YOU so much for sharing this info.Came across this thread when I had this exact issue - replying with some pictures so it can help the next person.

Well I tell you why it can be a big deal. If that credit card is being used to autopay monthly utilities like water, lights, and other typical monthly costs, then it is a pain to go and update the credit card information with all those places after ordering a new card. I presume you are not doing that, so no big deal for you.considering my credit card companies generally send me a new card within 3 days i honestly cant imagine why this is such a big deal haha.

maybe yes maybe no. I have never had them issue the same number and same cvv on various of my cards. For me it is easier to pull the panel and get the card in about 3 minutes. One of my card companies seems to always insist on changing the security number on the back even if it is a simple replacement card that isn't lost, but I am ok with that.Card replacements are usually issued identical to the original card including CVV, unless you think it has been stolen. If you use a soft card such as the Apple Card, it is even easier, because the physical card is a completely separate number.
