hi,

let's say one drops a screw into the hole underneath the middle armrest. where would the screw end up? any chance it'll just fall out underneath the car?

thanx in advance.

 

 

what hole are you talking about?

yeah and i dont think its coming out on the bottom of the car

 

the hole that i'm talking about is under that centre storage bin w/ the 2nd DC plug, underneath the coin holder...

that is, the centre storage bin has to be unscrewed and lifted to show the hole. i took that all out while installing navi/entertainment unit and dropped a screwed in there haha.

 

just flip the car upside down and shake it

 

LOL I bet this gets

Talking about screws and holes.

 

^^ it's screws and ho's

:inb4thebiglock:

 

yes yes well, the post title DID get your attention didn't it?

now, anyone got some constructive things to say? not that i mind the cracks about how i lost a screw in a hole -- keep those coming too.

i'd like to get that out if possible, cuz it's bothering me. not that i need that screw, but cuz i know it's down there. haha

and uh...

i tried that but my hands are too small.

 

Yeah dude, thats gotta add some extra weight to the car.

 

just leave it be. No sense screwing around with a screw.

 

If it doesn't rattle around, it probably just fell out.

 

I would if i could.... i'm psychotic like that.

i don't hear it rattling... i think.

does the floor panel open up somewhere that it can fall out?

makes me wish i bought a service manual... haha

 

Oh, cool! A possible self-induced rattle. Please come back in a few weeks and complain. Tinky Winky can be your advocate

 

Dude, you kill me!!!!


As for the screw, it would be caught up in either the wires around the stereo amp or would be behind the plastic of the center console... but more than likely just right underneath the "not an ashtray" box. Look at the install instructions for the short shifter... you see what it looks like under the "not an ashtray" area.

 

just start tearing your car apart you will eventually find it.

 

I have officially proclaimed this the post whore thread of the week.

 

GAME


ON!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I've got about 20 mins b4 I need to head to a meeting

 

23 days and counting?

 

Pertaining to this thread, I loose change behind the door all the time.

 

I need another mod that requires me to remove the center console.

 

Psychotic.... no.... OCD... more than likely.

 

Read above ^^^

 

You < me so far.

 

i don't get it. who's that?
no worries about rattles, my '05 has it all. squeeky driver side window, rattles in the steering column, rattles in the glove box, the popping noise in the trunk, and i'm pretty sure something in the roof is rattling now too. i don't think one more screw rattle would bother me too much, but my stupidity in dropping the screw in the hole bothers me a heck lot more.

possibly. but it's more that there's now imperfections in the car due to MY actions. the imperfections that came with the car i'll complain about but i can accept -- that's life. bad stuff caused by my stupidity = must be fixed.

yup, started looking at both spots, no signs of it yet. so i guess this means there's no hole under the lower floor panel for the screw to have dropped thru?

 

Cool, a PW thread

 

I have to got the bank in 20 mintues.

I hope I do not find a screw in some hole on the drive.

 

Then I have to go get an estimate to replace my "tuner" parts LOL.

 

if you do, can you ship it to me? u take paypal

 

Hopefully, this weekend I can find that screw that I lost on the way home from the dealership when I bought my car. That bish has been rattling lately.

 

Hell yeah I take PayPal. I will list it up on eBay for ya.

 

Colt proclaims the thread and then MIA ....

 

Hmmm, the most posts I have made in an thread me thinks.


I dropped a bolt into the air intake once .... never found that one either.

 

Maybe the screw was JDM

 

 

PW ing under the problems and fixes category? lame. who looks in here?

 

dee dah doh...

 

Yeah, kinda weak ... no one PW'ing here.

I have to leave work anyway ... meh ....
