Coin fell down in the front vent.

[Iron panda]

Hey guys, One of my mates put a coin on the dashboard and it slid and fell into the front vent and was wondering if there's anyway of getting it out? I keep thinking that the only way is to take it to a garage and they'd have to strip the whole thing apart which I would imagine would cost a fortune. It's only £1 and usually I wouldn't care but the fact that it slides around every time I turn a corner and the fact that I know it's in there annoys the hell out of me.

So, any ideas?

Thanks in advance for any info!

Some thin long nose pliers?

That could work, not sure how big the hole is though. I.e. if it opens up into a bigger hole or if it's just the same width and length of the hole. It'll be a needle in a haystack kind of thing

No idea but might be worth, if you say it moves about, try and get it to one side and go from there. Otherwise might be a off comes the dash type job.

Drop more in and start using the car as a piggy bank.

You could fill up the vent with that expanding builder's foam stuff - that would stop the coin from sliding about

Metal coat hanger stretched out to hook it out?
