Hi guys,

I was just installing some rear speakers on to my euro's parcel shelve but the spanner attachment sliped and fell in to the space between the shelve and the boot.

The parcel shelve itself is made of 2 piece of metal with a litlle gap in between, thats where it droped.
I've look in there but it must have roled down the edge.

my question is, where could it have rolled to and how to i get it out?
Would i need to take out my back seat to find it or has it rolled to the bottom of the car and i would need to take out the "mud guard" area above the wheel?

please let me know if you can think of a way to locate it. or is it safe to just leave it in there?
untill the rattling starts?

You can buy magnets on the end of a bendy stick specificly for jobs like this!
It's easy to pull the back seat out if you haven't already done it. Hope you find it!

Thanks, I did pull the seat out but still cant find it,
Plan to leave it in there now since there's no rattle to be heard.

twice I had drop mentos under the driver seat.... and couldnt seem to find them when I reach home... even put my hands inside the gap of the car carpet trying to see if they roll in...
