Mardi gras beads lost down defroster vent
My neighbor's mom is in town from Lafayette with her beautiful dark red 08 Justa. She just asked me to look at a problem she has. She was driving around with some Mardi Gras beads on her dash and they fell down the defroster vent just aft of the windshield. She was able to fish out a loop and has tied off the loop so she doesn't lose it, but the rest of the string won't come out. This is a long string of beads with ***** about 1/2" in diameter spaced about 1/4" apart on a string. She's afraid to pull too hard for fear of breaking the string. Anybody have any recommendations?

First, ask her exactly how she got those beads.
Second, I would try a coat hanger type thing (as to not damage) to push down a bit on the beads to see if they can go down, then up past whatever is pinching it now.
Third, if you are sucessful, make her repeat the process found in answer to first step to get them back.
