I'm spending my weekend finally installing my audio setup and backup cam. In the process of feeding the backup cam wire through the trunk lid I had to remove the trunk garnish piece. It's secured by 4-5 8mm nuts. I was threading the last one back on when it slipped and plummeted into the abyss.
I spent a good 20 minutes trying to fish it out with magnetic pickups, a flexible reach grabber thing, contorting my hand and arm, as well various banging.
I thought I'd have to live with a rattle until I decided to burn the BRZ to the ground.
Caveman idea popped into my head. I took some fish tape and wrapped the tip with duct tape, sticky side out.
boom. it worked. I had to come inside and grab a drink to celebrate.
I wish this on no one, but it's still solvable.
now... if someone could tell me if it's possible to thread an RCA cable end through the stock wire loom without cutting the end off first, I'd love to hear about it...
