4--$20 bills slid between winshield and dashbord on my '05 F-150. Any ideas on how to get them out w/o damaging dash board?? > 4--$20 bills slid between winshield and dashbord on my '05 F-150. >Any ideas on how to get them out w/o damaging dash board?? Man, it took me about 5 minutes to stop laughing! (sorry) Disconnect the battery. Take a thin piece of wire, about 20 AWG. Copper should work OK. Bend a small loop on one end (about 3/8" diameter) Get some sticky stuff (I have some 3M that I use, stays sticky for a long time). Go fishing! If you are lucky, they didn't slide down too far. (BTW, this works well for defroster vents/ducts too.) > > 4--$20 bills slid between winshield and dashbord on my '05 F-150. > >Any ideas on how to get them out w/o damaging dash board??

[quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > >Shop Vac?? Would you be able to get an attachment into the area in question? That would be my first question. I have some 1/4" ID PVC flexible pipe (Won't collapse with vacuum) but that stuff is 3/8" OD, rather large for a typical crack. Any smaller and you would proably not get enough vacuum to actually grab anything. But, it might work! <g> I tried and I gave up. Local repair shop in my home town knew how to take apart dashboard. Money was in duct work behind radio. He charged $30 for 1/2 hour labor and I tipped him $20. So, $50 to retrieve $80....oh well. BUT!!....BUT!!.....the next morning I won $50 on the Badger 5 Lottery!! It all worked out. >I tried and I gave up. Local repair shop in my home town knew how to >take apart dashboard.
