Dropped a loose bolt in a cavity just in front of the relay box but behind the front headlamp, is it serious or can I just let it be it looks like quiet tight squeeze to get the bolt out.
Do you have a magnet on a stick? They sell them at all auto parts stores. Just stick it down there and retrieve it. If not it will probably just drop out when you drive and just replace it with a new one.
Get one of these Performance Tool pick-up devices. Well worth it. I liked it so much I bought a second to give to a family member. On the shelf at O’Reillys. Magnet is strong, and claw if that’s not suitable.

No I don’t have one at the moment but I will be getting one now, do you think the vehicle is safe to drive?

If this is by the windshield washer tank, tap the plastic panel under the car under the headlight and listen if the bolt is just layin' on that panel.
yeah it’s just behind the washer fluid tank I tapped the plastic panel but couldn’t really here anything apart from the panel itself I think the bolt is somewhere in the wheel arch
I dropped a bolt once near the battery area and using a stick with magnet at the end worked. I would say a really really good flashlight and the stick should solve ur problem. Don’t think it’s near the moving parts but can end up there if didn’t drop already. So the sooner the better for the magnet stick!
Hey guys just and update, unfortunately no luck with the magnetic tool should I just leave it and hope it falls out or take it to the dealer ?
This issue is on the right side, specifically the driver's side right?I recommend taking your car to a trusted local independent mechanic rather than a dealership, as the dealership might charge you lot more. For your peace of mind wouldn’t hurt to go this route as annoying as this is.
