Found out the hard way today to be careful putting smaller pieces of paper up on the dashboard of my 21. Long story short, I got one of those parking pass slips you have to display on your dashboard while parked in a pay lot. Threw the slip up on the dash and before I could get out of the vehicle, it was gone. There's a pretty sizeable gap between the dash and the windshield and it goes pretty deep. If any piece of paper or small object goes down there, you're not getting it back without pulling the dash out. Fortunately the lot didn't require the slip to exit, that would have sucked. But a credit card or a driver's license? Yeah you wouldn't be getting that back without a fight. Just a little warning for anyone who tends to throw things up on the dash.

Live in Arizona for one summer, and you're broken of that particular habit for life.

Thanks for the heads up, but like others have said we do not put anything up there. If we are going to put anything on the dash it would go in the tray behind the screen.
