Apparently something was left on the cowl grill (a metal screw or small socket) and it fell down the gap on the passenger side. The noise is beyond annoying but I'm unable to locate or retrieve it. I've already tried removing part of the cowl to get underneath as well as removing the underside fender plastic where it meets the door, nothing... I don't go under the hood much (thanks Mazda) the last time being when I changed the springs and struts. One of the strut screws did break so I replaced it after getting the old one out. So its either that piece of screw or a socket that I'm hearing jumping around there. It almost sounds like it's coming from behind the glove box, but that little shelf under the cowl looks clear. I'm really not trying to take off the fender, but to get this thing out.... Any suggestions would be immensely appreciated. Thanks!
