Default Cavernous Vent???

Hi everyone
Can any one tell me how to retrieve my cell phone from the crater called the defroster vent, on my dashboard? Apparantly my sticky pad that sits on the dash, has lost its stick, and when I hit a corner my phone slid across the dash coming to rest inside the vent. When I reached to grab it, it fell deeper into the vent and now I can't even feel it. My husband went to get some sort of bendie tool that has claws to see if it will grab it, but I thought maybe someone may have had this happen to them.
Thank you
Mommag

Thank you for the tip. We were able to get it out using the claw thing. But next time I will try removing the glove box.
Thanks again

Don't feel too bad. Many (me too) have lost stuff in there. Check this link for a easy fix under 2 bucks.
