Hi,
I just changed a rear brake light bulb, I have done this several times before. The process is fiddly in a small area, accessing bolts removing the whole light to access the bulbs etc.
However while loosening/removing the bolts to release the light, this time I dropped a small wrench/spanner down through the small gap on the inside of the rear panel. Can't reach or see down there at all, as it is just a very small gap.
Can anyone advise me what can happen and potential damage etc. that could happen.
I was thinking of just leaving it there and not worrying about it, but I have nagging thoughts it could cause issues. Although I don't know how I could access inside there to easily find it?
Would removing the rear wheel liner, give access to that area?
Know it's a long shot but maybe sombody here knows.

Thanks
