help! Lock button fell into dash

I have a 996 turbo and today my buddy pressed the unlock/lock button and it popped into the dash....

Any idea how to get it back out?


Thanks

carefully pull the dash trim away from the dash and then snap the switch back into place, it takes a little bit of force to pull the trim, start at the bottom right corner

Had the same problem but used a different approach.

I bought the tools to remove the radio, reached back from behind and pushed the switch back in.
