Aargh...dropped screw into trunk lid

[kruuth]

I have something installed in my trunk and last night I had to remove it...one of the screws fell into that area in the trunk lid. I need to fish out the screw. I'd like some suggestions on how to get in there. I can hear it rattling but can't seem to get to it. Ideas?

Just pull off the liner, it comes right off. Unless Im not following. Pic would help.

[kruuth]

that's not the problem. It's in between the metal sheets behind the liner.

Gotcha. In that case get one of those retractable magnets and shove it in there. Or take the lid off and start shaking.

[kruuth]

Taking lid off is not an option. I've only got one good hand. Isn't the lid magnetic?

[headhunt3r]

I did the same thing once. Took a hanger, and stuck a piece of gum at the end, then carefully tried to fish it out with that.

Good luck.

Problem is I can't readily find where it is....I know it's in there

[DJ_B_Easy]

Go buy this...

I dropped my hex key set in the engine bay one time.......... Just drove around slowly until it fell out
