I was wrapping my roof but I left my knife on the sunroof, as I open the sunroof, the knife slided in too, so anyone knows how to get it out? Thanks

magnet?

sgtfury40 · 08-18-2012, 12:23 AM

You might have to get one of those video scopes to find it. They're not that expensive when you compare it to the cost of fixing or replacing your sunroof. Once you locate it you can come up with a plan for retrieval. Whatever you do, don't try to close it. That could really mess things up.

OP could try the poor man's version of this; a dentist's mirror. Costs like $3 at a drug store.

Get high in speed n then do a sudden break. Hopefully it will send it forward. But don't just rapidly step on the gas otherwise it well send it back more

BOBKUR · 08-18-2012, 10:38 PM

Turn car upside down and shake vigorously.

kdbryce · 08-18-2012, 10:49 PM

i'm so sorry, man. so sorry.

ChasVS · 08-19-2012, 08:13 AM

Open the sunroof to the Verbalization setting ( rear section popped up ). you should be able to use a coat hanger or some sort of wire with a hook on the need to fish around for it. It should be at the back of the pocket where to sunroof slides into when you open it.

Good luck!

Magnet?

mump · 08-19-2012, 09:54 AM

Pop the rear of the sun roof up and either try a scope magnet or jam on the brakes going downhill.
