maleah 17 Report post Posted January 14, 2019 A mouse must have taken his prized small acorn up into the recesses of my hood for a private dinner so every time I open the hood i hear the acorn roll down to the back, and when i close the hood it rolls back to the front and what is really frustrating is that I know there is nothing I can do about it to get it out.!

Vicfreg 771 Report post Posted January 24, 2019 Try a hose at the front of the hood, with the hood all the way up. Should eventually flush the acorn out through the big holes in the hood near the firewall. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danno 128 Report post Posted January 25, 2019 From VIc's idea, maybe a monster shop vac? thy with the hood up and flat. Flat will require removing it. Or maybe that expanding foam sealant. Fill all the holes with it? Or go have a beer and be thankful you have such simple problems! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stangman69 17 Report post Posted January 25, 2019 Even better...acorns are flammable. Pour gas on the hood, burn the acorn out and reinstall the hood. I know, I'm a genius. Seriously though, that sounds super annoying and would drive me up a wall. 1 Caseyrhe reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vicfreg 771 Report post Posted January 25, 2019 Expanding on that idea, open a beer. Pour 1/2 of beer in hole in top of hood. Observe for acorn to be "passed". Drink the other 1/2 beer. Repeat as necessary. 1 Caseyrhe reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
