easy. pop off the screw covers on the door, unscrew the panel, and take the panel off. there should be some plastic covering where the window goes down (in case the door gets hit and the glass shatters while it's in the door). just peel that off, grab the card, restick the plastic, put back the door panel, put back the screw covers, voila.

ya, your sister is screwed, hope mom doesn't get too mad. You can usually take the trim off without too much effort, it should snap off with some prodding.... sometimes a whole lot of prodding. sometimes it breaks too. ya, sorry.

Call the CC company and get a replacement card.
Its not worth opening up the door panel to get a card out, when you can have a new one in like 3-5 days

um... yeah, i guess when you can get the cc out within 10 minutes, it makes a LOT of sense to wait 3-5 days.

Yea I would do that. There is probably tons of wiring and stuff in there, not like older cars were made. You could mess it up and blow up the side airbag in your face/

there's no wires down there. it's cake... you just remove the door panel and peel back the plastic, and reach in the big hole (where you can see your window when it's down inside the door), and grab the card. it takes all of 10 minutes. i can't believe you people would honestly waste time and energy waiting for 3-5 days.

I did the exact same thing with my mom'scredit card...when I was, like, four years old!

LOL

(Go to a gas station with a garage and give one of the mechanics $10 to get it out for you.)

Lmao depending on what type of car he has it can be complicated.

He can also end up breaking off some of the fasteners in the door panel.
Why bother with it when you can just get a replacement with a simple phone call

sitting on the phone and dealing with recordings and being put on hold, etc. is a lot more energy-wasting than turning a screwdriver.

Install an air conditioner in the window of the door, turn on, and it'll pop right out.
