Killer screw?

Hey guys was re-installing me dash when i really should have left it till the morning and managed to drop a screw into the windscreen vents from the heater.


Can i leave this to rattle about while i get the motivation to remove it or am i going to have to take it all apart again before it damages something expensive.

Any help welcome (especially on removing the screw )

Re: Killer screw?

You're screwed... Pun intended. If you pull the heatercore cover you might be able to get at it. It probably won't cause a problem, but it'll drive someone crazy rattling in the dash.

Re: Killer screw?

I've found some pretty crazy stuff in cars but a Lego guy in a defroster vent is definitely something I've never seen.
