Coin in underseat air vents!!

All,

Finally identified the noise that's been driving me to despair.

After lying along the floor in the back of the car and getting suitably sick as a result, I've identified that it appears to be directly under the drivers seat and sounds to be coming from the air vents under the seat. Thinking about it, my mrs leaves her handbag behind the seat and is often strewn across the floor after the first roundabout.

Any idea how I get into that vent? It's fairly tight to get a hand in.

Any ideas how I could retrieve whatever is in the vent?

Cheers!

I pick up things in vents using either a IC type extractor or a very small range of tools I have which have a three part prong on the end to grab anything. These are always successful.
In engine compartments I use the disabled grabbers (used to pick up things from floor when people can't bend/reach) to pick up things dropped etc, plus magnetic tool with light and surrounding "grab" on it. John

Haha tried that!

Vent is too small too get anything useful in. Bought one of those telescopic claw things that doubles as a magnet so hopefully that works
