You know the air-duct that is underneath the driver's seat? I lost a large number of game pieces into that duct. Now, every time I turn sharply I hear the pieces sliding back and forth... I really want to retrieve them so that I can continue playing. (The game is Go in case you were interested, and I lost the stones...). I don't have a lot of money to spare. Is there a way I can easily open up this duct without damaging my car / spending money? Thanks!
What about a modded vacuum hose on like a shop-vac? I had some douchebag break my window and I had to go that route to get at the glass fragments.
Shop Vac with a small nozzle to fit into the duct. You can buy a special set meant for vacuuming inside electronic enclosures (computers) or you can make your own if you are clever...
In situations like this, I have used smaller plastic tubing (whatever size works best), sealed with duct tape on the larger vacuum hose. It will fit into the small air-duct. I used this method once to remove pistachio nuts someone had spilled into a defroster duct.
