Default 10mm socket INSIDE my hatch...

how the hell am i going to get this thing out...?

it fell off the damn wrench when released it from the nut and is now lodged at the corner of the hatch by the side window.

happened when screwing in my stock spoiler. F#%*!!!!

any suggestions other than removing the whole hatch assembly?

A magnet.
Put tape (or a shop rag) on a strong magnet so you don't scratch paint. Place magnet on inside surface of hatch but close to where socket is. Once you have captured socket with magnetic attraction, slide magnet slowly over to an area where you can grab socket.
