Hey guys, so pissed, has anyone dropped that plastic piece that holds the carpet in the hole? These pics should explain what I mean:

I noticed there was another one missing and with a flashlight I found both of them. I tried using long allen wrenches to somehow get them out, but I ended up dropping one allen wrench! This is really pissing me off...Anyone have any idea?

well it was painful, but I managed to get the allen wrench and one of the plastic plugs out! I pushed both to the 1st hole you see in the pic with a long flat head, I then took one of those plastic plugs from the inside of the car (no carpet) and put a long magnet through the hole and got allen wrench out!

The plastic plug took forever, I had to push it towards my finger, but then there is a small wall in the way, which I had to basically use the flat head and hit it up passed the wall and grab it with my finger at the same time, it was crazy and have no idea how i did it LOL. Just incase this happens to anyone theres your answer :)
 
## best bet is too cut open the door jam/chassis get the allen key out, and then weld it back shut hehehe :hellyeah:

kidding! na that stuck in there.. sorry.. or GOOD LUCK


hahahahahahha i was about to say its not worth it. unless you dropped a diamond rock in there. i have the same problem i droped 2 screws everytime that thing rattles i just turn on my subs. it rattles more but i cant hear. i also can barely hear the sirens from cops LOLoo!!!
