Oh oh, I need help.

Trying to do to many things at once and had the bolts and sleeves that hold on the seat slip out of my hands and go into the void in the black plastic at the seat rear. I used a magnet and got the bolts out but can't get the sleeves. Does anyone know, are they perchance aluminum so a magnet won't work? If they are, any suggestions on getting at them, or should I buy new ones and let them be?

Thanks

I'm not sure if they are magnetized or not but they make a tool that has grabbers on the end of it so you can fish for it like you would with the magnet. This must be the week for losing stuff down that hole, yesterday on Facebook someone lost a wrench while switching seats. Good luck.

auto parts usually have a long flex housing with a push botton top and a three prong claw that pops out the bottom for grabbing such things. This is what Ann mentioned above. florist clay on a flexable shaft will work also.

You could put some tape sticky side out on a long stick or screwdriver.

Step one is cover every opening with blue painters tape! Those fasteners and sleeves DIVE into those holes with pin point accuracy! First time, I wrote it off as a fluke; one in a million shot. The next time, I realized BRP painstakingly designed the underseat area to make certain you will lose the bits! Uncanny, but, after about a dozen seats, painters tape has solved this little problem. To remove the seat is at your own peril! Beware! Joe

Just orger new oness from your dealer. I lost mine down there too and never could get them to come back. They are pretty cheap. Oh an no they are not magnetic.
