Default stuck nut in hatch. help

Today i removed my oem spoiler and in the process, I dropped one of the nut holding the oem spoiler into the hatch metal lining. Any ideas on how to take it out? I tried to use a magnet to fish it out, but no luck. Should I take down the whole hatch and shake it out?

You can remove the trunk lining. Might take some searching to find a diagram but I can imagine it's pretty simple.

I've got two washers stuck in mine from a wing install. Been in there about 2 months without falling out yet...

I've been wondering the same thing as you because when you open the hatch it slides to the front and there's no way to reach it. Then when its closed and they slide back down you can't get in there. I'd rather not take the hatch off either.

The fear of that happening was a nightmare when I worked on the hatch. I guess as long as you do not hear the rattle, just live with it. Taking the whole hatch is too much work because ot the wiring that runs into it. I took mine off before but hope not to have to do it again
