Default Cleaning Between Fron Seats & Console

Hi, Newbie here. I recently got a 2004 coupe. There's some debris between the front seats and the console (see photo). Even using a very thin vacuum attachment, I cannot get to this area. I've resigned myself to removing the seats this one time, but I don't want to have to do this every time something falls into this area. Anyone know a trick for cleaning this area without removing the seats ?

I've taken a scrap piece of garden hose & duct-tape to attach it to a nozzle.

If you have a shop-vac, Sears has a car detailing kit with smaller crevice attachments.

if you move the seat fully forward you can usually access fallen items with a shop vac crevice attachment.

Another way is to get your children or Grand Children to get there little hands down in there and clean it up for a PopSickle

I push the seat all the way up and using a crevice vacuum attachment, vacuum from behind the seat. I use the attachment to get up under then seat tracks. There has not been anything that I haven't been able to clean this way.

And like Ansel said, the ultimate goal is to keep stuff from even falling down between the seats and the console. He uses a peice of foam, but I'm thinking you could also use a thin rolled-up towel.
