Hi, I don't know if anyone can help me
My girlfriend's daughter threw a 2p coin and it went down the little windscreen demister vent in my polo. I was wondering if there was any way to take the vent out and retrieve it. It's not blocking the airway atall, it jus makes an annoying noise when going round corners.
I thought about attaching a magnet pen in there to magnetise it out but if there's an easier way, please can someone advise me
Many thanks

Re: Coins fallen into demister
Magnets will only grab ferro magnetic material, so that will not work, maybe a length of stiff wire with double sided tape wrapped round it might work, pulling the ducting off will be problematic in the extreme!

Re: Coins fallen into demister
2p coin can be lifted with a magnet; just checked. So this looks like the route to take. Good luck !!
Attach a very small disc magnet with sticky tape to something slightly flexible (a straw or stiff wire?) so you can manoeuvre.
