Help with under the trunk? - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I know what you mean hopefully you can see something with the flashlight and grab it with a grabber or something along those lines.

I'm fairly OCD about my car haha keep us posted! Mines in the shop for the CEL or I'd take a look under the mat to hopefully look at it from a different angle

I haven't had to look for nooks and crannies in the trunk so this is just an idea.

If it's wedged in somewhere? Use a utility knife or one of those breakaway knives to pop it out.

ever think about taking out the spare tire.......

you can go to subaru and buy em if you really want to

ok guys, a little update. i tried using a high powered flashlight to try looking for it but i couldnt find it. i took some pictures of my guess of its whereabouts. anyone know what i can try doing next? or how do i access these areas? thanks all.

so its either in here

or in here

to be honest i think its this area. but thats just my guess.

Have you taken out all the styrofoam(spelling?) tool holders and such? The big plastic rivets just pop out.

I can't imagine it would be hard to find once you remove all that stuff.

Ill try that later thanks. But look at the pics again. I'm afraid that the rivet might have fallen into those holes.

Ive had plastic rivets fall into those holes before. Its not too terrible. You have to remove the large inside panels that cover the rear speakers. If you look for the thread on how to remove the third brake light it has step by step instructions.

Thanks soso much. Ill try that later tonight. Care to provide a link? :P

There are spots right below the tail lights that stuff likes to fall into, pull out all the foam around the spare and look in those. Every time I dropped my wrench, that's where it went...
