How to get into the defroster vents...

So after a successful bluetooth kit install, i accidentally dropped the 2 screws (the ones that hold the headunit in place) into the defroster vent (the long opening below the windshield). They seem to slide back and forth after every turn. Any ideas on how to get them out?

Thanks!

clothes hanger with a magnet on the end of it or with a string and super glue (super glue holding the magnet in the windings of the string)?

All of the above. Maybe.
If not just tear the dash out. Because that's your next option.

What about the cabin airfilter? That should be easily accessible right? Could we come in from that side? (My Gf dropped an earing down mine -_-)
