Mine sucked in a magnetic retrival tool that I gave my friend. He put it on the dash and it fell in. It then stuck itself to the metal there and took many contortions to get it out.

either way, after a good 20 min i managed to get the phone out with minimal scratching of the cheap ass plastic
Don't let them screw you the pipe insulation is only .99 at Home Depot where I bought mine, after losing a part down the hole in their parking lot.

I did the pipe insulation trick too. It works great! I used the stuff for 3/4" copper that is not split. I cut it to length and tucked it in as I worked my way across the dash. A bit of advice, if the foam has yellow writing on it, wipe it off before tucking it in so it doesn't show or get yellow powder on the dash.

That looks good and I like it. My one concern would be if they left that gap there to help cool the electronics behind the dash. I can't believe they would leave it there intentionaly.
