Screw fell down power seat track - how to retrieve? A little screw that I need(and may be hard to replace) fell down into the power seat track. I can see it but its way down there and I tried to fish it out with a wire but no luck. How hard is it to take the seat off of the track about an inch so I can gain access to it?

Its behind the part that spins when you move the seat forward/backward. I guess I should get one of those magnetic things anyways and give it a shot. If it doesnt work it will come in handy someday.

You know they look like a antenna but you can extend it?

go to pep boys and get the magnet (usually up by the counter). It only cost .99 and has tons of uses. I have them at work, they work great for picking up screws from the floor. My boss at one point said we are to lazy to bend down a pick up a screw, well let me tell you we constantly drop screws on the floor all day long and most of the time they go half way under the work benches and you would have to crawl under it to get the screw.. At work we call them "back savers" cause bending down so many times in a day would kill your back...
