Default Dropped bolts in WRX Spoiler-HELP!!

Anyone been as daft as me and let the fixing bolts go back up into the spoiler?

Scott

Hi Scott did something very similar-ended up having to get one of those telescopic tools with a magnet on the end. That was the easy bit. Patience fiddling for 45 minutes was a little harder but got there in the end.

I dropped a socket down the inside of the bootlid and used a telescopic magnet. Worked a treat but had to bend it so pretty much knackered it up.

Yeah did that as well! had a right shocker!
The one that is really foxing me is the bolt that has gone back up into the spoiler..cannot get to it.
May just have to drill it..failing that a new spoiler...
