Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Previous owner of my new car said that at one point he dropped a pen in between the dash and the windshield on the driver's side. He said it only rattled every once in awhile, nothing enough to bother him but I hear it all the time. Is there an easy way of getting at this aside from pulling the entire dash off? i tried removing the front speaker and instrument cluster but couldn't see anything.... Help if you can! Thanks, Paul.
bring the car by the saturday meet and i'll take a look. i'm struggling to think of how he could have gotten it stuck IN the dash in such a way that it can't just be pulled up with tweezers or something. are you missing any dash trim pieces?
Maybe Mfletch can help you take your dash off.
