cigarette lighter socket

Post by Tommys 89 635 »

My Cigarette lighter socket popped out and dropped in below the console - what's the best way to get that back to the surface without taking apart the console. Thanks

I looked at my 86, took out the ash tray-- no access. Removed the shift boot (5-speed), no way my fat hands are going to reach.
Looks like the grill is screwed from underneath.

I hope someone has an answer.
