Helping getting fluid cap out of the engine compartment

Ioman · 05-26-2007, 05:43 PM

I did the dumbest thing and accidently dropped the cap to my windshield washer fluid bottle, and it fell under the engine. There is a plastic cover preventing it from falling all the way through to the ground. Any idea how to get this out?

Sorry if this has been answered before, I tried searching but could not find it.

Thanks for the help

If you cant reach it, then you will just have to unscrew all the screws holding the bottom cover on.

Dont worry, its made to be taken off and put back on

It should be able to fall off driving regularly and just purchase a new one?

I can't find it now, so lets pray it fell out!

Did you remove the under tray?
I'd try to make sure it's out of there.
It might get stuck somewhere and cause a rattle later on.
For peace of mind, I'd make sure it's not there still.
