As others have mentioned, you might be able to see it from the taillight hole, or I don't think it's really all that hard to remove a couple of bolts so that you can pull the bottom of the fender out a bit. You could also try one of those 3-finger "grabbers" and just see what you can find. The glue approach will work, but that's a last resort. > One somewhat serious problem is that whenever I let up on the > accelerator quickly it dies. I thought it might be the idle.
