Dumb problem to have

I have no idea how this little bastard gained access to this area, but he got in there and died. Does anyone know how to get into this compartment without causing damage? Much appreciated.

It IS driving me crazy. There's no way to get in there without disassembling something. I even tried blowing it out with my master blaster, no luck. I need to take it apart to do it, but I'm afraid I'll fuck it up. Maybe I'll try to make the dealership do it.

Try taking a really fast left turn. Maybe it will slide out of sight!

That's awful. Get one of those keyboard air dusters and try and blast it out with air!

Try using one of those air can dusters with the tiny plastic tube. Just shove that thin tube around, spray, and pray!

Take it to the dealer. That's a PITA job and it's easy to break the mirror, windshield, and/or windshield heating elements when pulling it out. It also might go out of calibration if not re-installed precisely how it was.

The KAFAS viewports should effectively be "sealed" so how your lil friend got in there in the first place is sufficient for a covered fix.
