Ever wonder where your lost tools go? I know where.

Can't believe this happened.

Had this happen with a screw driver and a socket. Removed the top mounting screws for the radiator and pulled it back, wedged my arm all the way down and got them out(not without getting scratched up a bit tho, lol)

Ha! Try loosing your key down there. I was sitting in my driveway finishing a quick detail of the car before a small cruise and I set my key down. As I was wiping the edges of the engine bay down, I pushed the key into the hole . Lucky for me, I have one of those long flexible mechanical grab things.

Happened to me too. Go under the front of the car and remove the two screws on the bottom of the bumper and pull it down. Tool should slide right out.

ITS HAPPENED TO ME TOO....but I knew it happened, fishing it out was the hard part. When I was doing my HORN MOD I dropped a FEW things in that hole, I had the whole plate off. and that wasn't to bad, as I have a magnetic pick up tool so getting it out was easy....UNTIL A ROLL OF ELECTRICAL TAPE FELL IN!!! GRRRRRRRRRRR It took a while, but had to get a wire coat hanger and take it apart and had to HOOK it.
