Idiot Move ( Clip fell into Center Speaker Hole)

Well I did the center speaker rattle fix, but after I put it back together there was a more annoying rattle. It sounded like metal on metal rattle, so I took it apart again and noticed one of the speaker grill's metal clips was missing, soo there is a clip underneath the steel bar (underneath that black tape wrapped plastic bar).

I have taken a coat hanger wire and able to move the clip around a bit, and also took off my climate control to see if I could get under that bar, but the front vents were in the way and it doesn't look like you can remove those.

Any help would definitely be appreciated, I used the picture from the DIY also

Thanks!

How about a magnet or magnetic screw driver or one of those flexible grabber/magnetic tools?

If you can actually see the clip but can't get it pulled out, you could try just gluing in in place with silicon or something similar and just leave it there.

Get one of those magnetic-tipped antenna style grabber things from Autozone. If the clip is metal, that will get it no problem...

Not an idiot move, just bad luck that the clip found a place to rattle/buzz.

Mine popped off too and it was gone for good in the bowels of the dash. Since I was replacing the center speaker anyway I had a new grill from the dealership. Since I had to cut the grill a bit for the new cc driver I wanted to keep the original one.
