hi guys, some dropped a small metal/plastic piece (about the size of an entire fingernail) down this dashboard top vent https://imgur.com/a/44wVbM5 i have dug through the manual to figure where it goes ... and the short answer is, i have no idea. seems to be an air guide duct of some sorts is there anyway to get it out without removing the entire dashboard? have tried to insert a magnetic snake .. but the snake is too thick if i leave it in, is it gonna damage some part/fan/belt or get sucked in where it shouldnt? it is not rattling yet - but i have been super slow and gentle to prevent it from moving further in (assuming it is there somewhere) many thanks in advance
