Help with under the trunk?
 
Hi guys. sorry about this but before i ask for help i just gotta say: FML. nothing is going right for me this christmas.
firstly, i tried tinting me tails and they turned out like SHIT and i had to remove the tint and all which was a painful process in which i accidentally cracked the tails a little bit coz i was rubbing too hard.

now on the the actual topic, while removing the tails, i left the bolts and rivets INSIDE on the trunk. then, while unscrewing a bolt, i accidentally DROPPED my fking wrench into under the trunk so me, being the fking retard i am, LIFTED the trunk liner thing coz the wrench fell into the spare tire area. AND BECAUSE there were bolts and rivets on it, ONE rivet fell into the spare tire area and it got lost. now i know some of you will say its ok and all but i havnt been able to sleep these few nights due to the ocd part of my brain. pls help me. any ways or suggestions? its just one rivet thats stuck under the spare tire area. how do i remove that sucker? thanks so much guys. really appreciate it.

disclaimer: *i don't have one, so i can't check to see if this would work*


if you have one of those magnetic bolt grabbers, you could probably wiggle it around down there and snag it

Stereo magnet will find it just fine.

sorry i forgot to clarify, the rivet is plastic. magnets wont work.

um....the good magnet grabber thingies have claws (mine does), maybe you can grab it with that

the problem is, i cant even see it. its so hard to see anything. i dont even know where it is. im planning to go borrow my friend's super bright flashlight tmw and see if that helps. and if that does, you're suggesting is just grab it with a grabber? any recommendations on a grabber?

honestly, i can't remember what brand mine is. i picked it up at an auto parts store. if you go and play with some of them, they should have little arms that come out by the magnet. you may be able to find one that's higher quality than mine is (shouldn't be too difficult), and it is a useful thing to have
