my torque wrench slipped and smashed into the black fiberglassish box in the back of the engine bay next to the passenger side head. it made a hole about 1 inch by 1 inch, and teh piece that it broke off fell into it. i know it encloses the a/c thingy and i want to know if i can just leave the piece that fell in in there and just seal it with some gasket maker and epoxy........

might make a rattling noise with the a/c on if you do. or even while driving it might make some noise, id try to fish it out of there.

as long as the a/c will still work i guess ill be fine, anyone know a way i can gte my hand in there, the hole it made is to small. is there something i can unbolt?

might sound weird , and idk if it would work ... but worth a shot id try putting a shop vac upto the hole to see if it pulls it out..

that would work if the hole was lower, the hole is like 5 inches from the bottom

make a bigger whole to get it out then reseal it. That is the only thing i can think of doing.

thats a realy good idea, ill seal it now, and if it makes a rattling noise ill make a hole and get it

I was thinking the same thing... It already has a hole, so just make it bigger, get the piece out, and seal it up good!

Since the whole you made is on the side, and I know there isnt a lot of room in there to get to it, seal that hole and make a smaller one on the bottom that you can fish it out of. Might as well get as close to the piece as you can to make it easier.
