Default Help! MY Dashboard has something ROlling around in the vents!

I recently got a new windshield about a month ago @ a HOnda Dealer, The Glass and Assembly was done pretty well, except I had rubber sealent pieces, and lots of dust on my dash that wouldnt come off without rubbing pretty hard. Anyways after I Drove off Everything was fine till i made turns if i make a right something maybe like a Screw? Rolls to the otherside i believe inside the Vent (THe vent that Defoggs your windshield) and if i turn the other way Vica Versa. Well I thought i could live with it until today i was driving along NO music no nothing just driving the rolling back and forth is driving me nutz I really love this car and this minor problem is driving me insane. I was hoping if i took a hard corner maybe whatever is inside would jump in the vent and fall in deeper and problem would maybe go away but nothing. What can i do take it back to honda? ( I am 99.99% sure its HONDA i cant say 100% cuz i wasnt there during installation so) someone please Help me. And I went to HONDA SO THINGS LIKE THIS WOULDNT HAPPEN... Thanx, Jason

Getting an object out of a vent duct work may not be a simple task. I'm thinking "dash dismantling".

Maybe using compressed air into the windshield vent to force the object out or lodge it somewhere else???
I don't think you'd hurt anything by trying...

This is why when I go in to have my windshield replaced i'm going to request they put some sort of blanket down over my dash.

One of my mattress stores is next to a "Speedy Autoglass" shop, and when I had my Civic done, the bastards left glass shards all over my interior... I managed to prick one of my fingers on a piece of the glass.
