I'll Give someone 100 dollars if they help me out online

[TCossuto]

First of all, hello everyone I'm Tom.

I drive a 2003 expedition. Pretty much the opposite of fully loaded. It's got a very big dashboard, and about 2 years ago my girlfriend lost an expensive earing in one of the vents on the driver's side. (keep in mind, below the windshield, not next to the radio)

How can I go about getting it out? I'd like to leave the whole dash intact, if possible.

Any way to go through the firewall or some shit to get to the vents? Do they collect somewhere that drops it or something simple?

100 dollars to whoever helps me get it out.

You may be able to get one of those bendy arm things with a magnet on the end.. I got one for $25. Shove it down the vent, and hoepfully it will grab the thing.

Use a peice of long fuel line attached to a shop vac a a screen where the hose conects to the vac. It may take some time but if theres anything in there it will be sitting at the lowest point. Start out whth a shop vac put a peice of screen over the inlet. then attach the the large 2 1/2 inch hose and then at the end of that use 2 inch duct tape and attch a peice of 3/8 inch fuel line. next step go fishing and have patients
