Greetings!

A ball point pen went into the center vent and fell down into the bottom somewhere (dont ask..lol) The pen's rolling around now, banging like crazy and driving me NUTS! Is there a quick easy way of opening the bottom box to remove it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

what model?
Or find a google image of the air box and post it here.

 

Its a 2008 isport, 2.3 liter with a stick...surely someone must know how to access the blower box...

 

I believe it is known as a"Tribute" here in the states.


that looks like bad news, doesn't it?

 

It only took them just over 1.5 minutes to remove that dash, LOL!
They are fast! It was nice of them to remove front seats for us for a better view.

 

Thanks Tan! Yes its a Tribute, though the one shown is the prev generation I think....what a nightmare, and all that to get out the cabin filter?!? Think ill just raise the stereo volume from now on! lol

 

No that's not needed to get at cabin filter.
I don't know layout of tribute, but look how to remove cabin filter here:
