Default Wiper Bay... ooops...

So... now that my clumsy-azz self let a wrench fall down into the "cave", can anyone tell me how to retrieve it? Any access from the vent door?

You will get better access by removing the grill if it still up the top. If the spanner has gone down the side try removing the kick panels and getting it through the vent.
Good luck!

Buy a magnet on a telescoping handle, or use a strong magnet on a string and go Fishin`

If the magnet doesn't work, just remove the 8 screws that hold the grill on. Be careful and note position and number of washers that the factory used to level the grill with. Charles
