    Has anyone ever while replacing vanity mirror light bulb have the bulb fall on top of the headliner? I would like to get it out.

    Inspection mirror and a flashlight to see if you can locate its resting place(if the hole it used to disappear is large enough). Then, if you locate it? put some sort of a very sticky substance on the end of whatever tool you think will reach it. Whether that be a a screwdriver or a flexible tool, (like a claw retrieval tool or whatever). If you can't locate it, then the only way you likely will is to drop however much headliner is necessary. At that point you'd be better served to forget it. imo

    Thanks You! I’m thinking forget it is the way to go right now. Maybe it will work its way to the front where the headliner meets the windshield. I can pull down on the headliner and it will drop out.
