Credit card + screw behind multibox

sinfinite · 01-06-2013, 04:57 AM

My nephew put my credit card above the slit in the storage/multibox and it fell behind. I tried to unscrew the door/lid to reach my hand behind it but dropped the screw behind it. Any clues what to do besides go to the dealer? I'll probably end up going on monday but was wondering if the card or screw could mess anything up electronic-wise.

Oh noze! Here's hoping your Elantra doesn't sneak out and rack up a bill on it while you're not looking.

Lets hope the dealer doesn't give me a bill for this

Maybe I'll tell them I noticed the screw was missing after I looked for the credit card?

Well, this is not a warranty issue. You may end up with a bill if they have to disassemble.

time for a new CC with a different acct#. that way is free. or your could risk the stealer charging you for disassembly. i know which i would choose...

Agreed! Get another CC... and screw.

Would it be under warranty if I told them I noticed a screw was missing and disregard the CC? I just hopr the screw doesnt do any damage back there

This is not a warranty issue. Use that credit card to pay for their time or do it yourself.

Go get some tools, dig in there. Take your time, it will be fine. If you had ine of those telescoping pens with the small magnet on the end, you might be able to fish that screw outta there with a little luck.

When my cousin was little, she took a big jar of coins and fed almost every single one of them into the vents of their then-new Plymouth Voyager. The dealer had to take the whole dashboard off to get it all out.
