Installed spoiler but dropped some screws in the hatch. Help please!
Hello, So i installed the nismo replica spoiler myself but in the process i dropped some screws and rivets in side the hatch ie. through the holes to access the screws. now every time i open or close the hatch they go up and down inside the hatch and in aggressive driving i hear them rattling all over, could any one help me with this ? i tried to run a magnet against the hatch to bring em out but no luck..
take the hatch off and drill a little bit bigger hole and then lean the hatch so the screw fall out? I dont know but if they are rattling bad it would drive me nuts
use a magnetic telescoping wand or some type magnetic that you can slip in any of those holes to see if you can get it out. if its the stock hatch then you might want to get something sturdy so that it doesnt stick to the hatch itself

I had the same problem when I broke a drill bit installing my V1. The telescoping magnetic wand and a lot of shaking the hatch to position the piece does the trick. It just takes loads of patience...
i droped 2 screws and tried to get them out for months with no luck. mine fell into the corner of the hatch by the rear quarter windows. i ended up drilling 2 small holes and spraying in some expanding foam to keep them in place. haven't heard a rattle since!
