things that have fallen between the seat and center console
I've got so much stuff that's accidentally fallen in that void between the drivers seat and center console. Anybody have any tricks for getting stuff out of there? It's a ridiculously tight space!

Had the same thing happen, and lost my mechanical key, etc in that abysmal void that is the In-Between.
Luckily, the seat is easy to unbolt, pivot, and move around without necessarily needing to disconnect the Airbag & Weight Sensors underneath.
If you do need full seat removal with disconnection of sensors, be prepared to have an OBD Dongle and Diagnostic App or Tool that can clear the Airbag Light that will remain on even after re-connection.

You should see what we find in there when removing seats/consoles for repair work. Most of it is just disgusting food and things, but sometimes it's a surprise lol.
Easiest way is to unbolt the seat, 4 bolts and it will tilt back with plenty of access. According to MB those bolts are supposed to be replaced every time, but they are quite strong and will be fine to re-use.

I realized this awkward space when first getting the car. I had some black colored foam or sponge material that I cut into large rectangles and placed them in these spaces. Haven’t had one thing fall in there, and if it does, the foam catches it...
