The golf cart has all these little storage slots in the dash.

 

An oddity of the top center slot is that the stop at the back only goes half-way up.  If you put something in it, you have to be careful to keep it low, so it doesn’t just go past the stop and fall down into an inaccessible hole.

 

Well if something can go wrong, you know it’s only a matter of time until it does, and our time ran out.  Now we had to retrieve something valuable from the innards of the golf cart but didn’t know how far down that was or how to get there.  A good place to start would be to remove the drink holder and see if that gave us access.  We could tell that the top of the drink holder was a separate piece, but there were clearly releases to get past that would let it lift out.  I couldn’t figure them out.  I could just overpower it with screwdrivers and leverage, but I wanted the drink holder to still be usable after I was done.  What to do?

 

Ask the Google!  “Removing drink holder from EZ Go golf cart.”  Guess what.  There is a youtube video precisely for removing the drink holder from our golf cart.

Knowing where to press while pulling on the drink holder, it popped right out, the cellphone was right there in plain sight, we retrieved it, and our lives are in order again.  All credit to the Google!

 

As a bonus, we found a letter from 2017 that had gotten dropped in there and never recovered.
