was moving somethings around under the hood and knocked some screws down a hole in the core support... wondering if there is a way to get these f'ers out or if there's a spot underneight that they'll eventually drop out or what...... im at work and can't take a look for a while so I figured i'd ask... and yes they are rattling around in there pretty good now :)

here's a pic of which hole im talking about in the core support

try a strong magnet...slide the magnet on the core support until the screw is viewable in the hole...then pick it out w/ a thin magnet.

if and when they fall out, you'l probably end up finding them in your tire. Try a small magnet or a pressure washer also works.

:rotf: You manage to find the smallest hole around. Try a long telescoping magnet like Norm suggested.

thanks for the suggestions... i did try a magnet but it wasn't grabbing the screws.. im thinking they're aluminum screws :hang:

I'd like to also add there not causing any KR at all but annoying as hell especially with the inner wheel wells out!!

thats a real sucky issue, there are a few holes but you got to take off a few things headlights char canister battery etc depending on the side, but as the rest of you have, ive discovered a nice snap-on mini wrench handle inside mine along with a few sockets... hehe, guys it may be worth it just to look and see :)
Most likely theyll fall out, more likely theyll get wedged in a corner and be gone forever.. sorry to hear that, this kinda thing drives me bonkers.

soo im guessing there isnt any other wholes on the underside inside the core support these things can wiggle out from?

I'm just trying to imagine that somebody else has actually worked a on typhoon. I thought these things were a weld the hood shut vehicle.
